Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions.
Toast walnuts in a small sauté pan over medium high heat for 5 minutes until toasted and fragrant. Remove from heat.
Drain pasta and reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
Put pasta back into the pot and stir in butter, oil, salt, walnuts, lemon juice and zest. Toss to coat.
If needed, add in the reserved pasta water a little at a time to thin out sauce.
