Pasta & Walnut Cream Sauce

Grind 3/4 cup walnuts in a food processor or coffee grinder so that
they end up a mixture of some pieces but mostly ground. (Don't let
it turn into walnut butter.)

Cook one pound of pasta and drain.

Melt some butter in a pan over low, add in some crushed garlic.
Be careful not to burn.  Add in the walnuts, and stir for a few
minutes.  Add in some half and half or whole cream to make a sauce
a little thicker than gravy.  Turn off heat and add grated Parmesan
Reggiano to taste.

Serve over the drained pasta.
