From WW Online Ingredients:
15 ounces canned chicken broth |
1/2 cup walnut halves, roughly chopped |
3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream |
1/2 teaspoon walnut oil, toasted variety |
1 medium garlic clove, peeled |
1/4 teaspoon sea salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground (or more) |
1 lb uncooked whole wheat linguine |
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese or 2 tablespoons parmigiano-reggiano cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente; drain.
2. Meanwhile, place broth in a small sauce pan and boil until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Toast walnuts in a sauté pan over medium-high heat, shaking pan frequently, until fragrant.
3. Place reduced chicken stock, 1/4 cup of toasted walnuts, sour cream, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender; cover and blend on high until a smooth sauce forms. Scrape sauce into a medium-size serving bowl.
4. Add hot pasta to sauce; add parsley and toss to coat.
5. Garnish with remaining walnuts and cheese. 7 Points yields about 1 rounded cup per serving.
