Servings: persons

3 cups water, or as needed
1 1/2 cups walnuts
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 pinch sea salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese
freshly ground black pepper to taste
sea salt to taste
1 (16 ounce) box dry fettuccine pasta
1/2 bunch fresh chives, finely chopped

1
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add walnuts and cook until they have softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
Combine garlic and 1 pinch sea salt in the bowl of a mortar and pestle. Grind to create a thick paste. Add walnuts, marjoram, thyme, and oregano. Grind until combined and slightly creamy, but still coarse.
3
Transfer the walnut mixture to a large bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil to form a thick emulsion. Add heavy cream and Pecorino Romano cheese, whisk until combined. Season with black pepper and sea salt to taste.
4
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the fettuccine, return to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
5
Toss walnut sauce with pasta. Garnish with fresh chives.
