This recipe was inspired by one of the recipe created a while ago: mushrooms pasta with pesto and walnuts. I made this new version only on my memories and then when I checked the actual recipe, I can see that we can’t really trust our memories… but the result is really tasty and smells good in the whole kitchen.
In this recipe, I used a homemade pesto but you can obviously decide to go ahead with a ready-made pesto.

What do you need?
- 120 g of pasta, I used orecchiette

How to make Pasta with Brussels sprout top pesto, mushrooms, and walnuts?
- Start by cooking the pasta as indicated on the packaging
- Peel and chop the onion
- In a pan at medium heat, heat the olive oil, when it is hot, cook the onion for a couple minutes until they get tender and slightly brown
- Then add the sliced mushrooms
- Add the cooked pasta and stir
- Add the homemade Brussels sprout top pesto and stir
- Then add the walnuts
I like to soak the walnuts a little bit in cold water for making them softer and more digestible
- Add seasoning if needed
- Serve it straight away
