  • 14.1oz Bella Italia Busiati Trapanesi pasta
  • 3.5oz walnuts, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1-2 rosemary sprigs

HOW TO PREPARE

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. When the water is boiling, salt it with rock salt and add the pasta. Cook according to package instructions

Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a large skillet until the desired crispiness, and set aside. In the same skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over a medium-high heat and sauté the rosemary for a couple of minutes, until it releases its fragrant aroma

Add the mascarpone cheese and stir gently, allowing it to melt completely to a creamy consistency

Drain Busiati Trapanesi “al dente” and transfer immediately to the pan, add the toasted walnuts and mix softly until the ingredients blends fully with the mascarpone sauce

Plate and complete with a generous handful of grated dark chocolate and a rosemary sprig on top right before serving.
