I'm sorry but I have to agree with another reviewer and just flat out say this stuff is FABULOUS! The only change I made was that I only used 1/4 cup of butter and found that to be plenty. But oh my, this dish is dangerously easy to throw together and all that much harder to walk away from the bowl after it's done! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe nemokitty! Excellent dish! Made for PAC Spring 2010.

this was dynamite! i made this for a quick dinner with just the 3 yo dd and myself. i used rainbow cheese tortellini and added about 1/4 cup heavy cream and some garlic powder. i served the walnuts on just my serving and left dd's without. we both loved this! made with a salad and a quick garlic toast. i will definitely be making this for us again, we like to have pasta on nights that dad is out! thanks so much for the keeper, nemokitty! made for 1-2-3 hits tag.

This was FABULOUS !! My tortellini was veal, my herbs were fresh and my walnuts were mixed with a few cashews and the meal was so great - many thanks !

This was SO delicious! It was fast and easy but your guests will never know it! It has such a great combination of flavors - buttery, fresh, sweet, savory, crunchy! It was exactly what I was looking for. (I didn't use all of the butter though -- just 6 Tbsp. -- that was plenty we felt.) Thank you so much for this awesome, tasty, wonderful recipe!

This is another wonderful recipe that's so much more than the sum of it's parts. I actually made just enough for a side to accompany a smoked pork chop and some broccolini. Next time (and there will be a next time) I'll make this the main. I used the cheese pasta ask for and cooked the walnuts in the butter for awhile before adding everything else back in. Wish I could give this more than 5 stars.
