Ingredients

For the Sauce

1.5 cups walnuts these nuts give the sauce its rich, nutty flavor.
¾ cup milk helps create a creamy texture; if dairy-free, almond or oat milk works well.
1 slice white bread adds body and thickness to the sauce; whole grain can be used for a healthier alternative.
1 clove garlic adds a hint of warmth; adjust for milder taste.
1 cup parmesan, freshly grated brings a savory depth; use nutritional yeast for a vegan substitute.
1 tbsp olive oil enhances the creaminess; walnut oil can be used for more flavor.

For Serving

Method

How to Make Walnut Sauce

Soak the bread in the milk until it’s soft and mushy, about 2-3 minutes.
In a blender, combine the soaked bread, walnuts, garlic, Parmesan, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds.
If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again.
Taste the sauce; add salt or pepper if desired before the final blend.
Garnish with freshly chopped herbs for a vibrant touch, if desired.

Notes

Ensure your bread is adequately soaked for a creamy consistency. Avoid over-blending to prevent heating the sauce. Always adjust seasoning to enhance flavor.
