Salsa di noci (walnut sauce)

Ingredients:

• 400 g of walnuts;
• 1 or 2 cloves of Vessalico garlic;
• the soft part of a bread roll soaked in milk;
• 100 g of parmesan cheese;
• 2 spoonfuls of prescinseua cheese;
• extra virgin olive oil;
• salt.

Preparation:
Immerse the walnuts in boiling water and remove the skin. Place the garlic and salt in a mortar (or blender) and gradually add the walnuts as you crush. When the resulting mixture is fine enough, transfer to a mixing bowl with the bread, prescinseua and parmesan cheese. Mix everything carefully. Mix in some oil to dilute the mixture to a creamy consistency.

A few suggestions:
If the sauce is too dense, you can dilute it by adding some of the water the pasta was cooked in just before pouring over the pansoti.
