Ingredients

• 12 oz. dried linguine
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 shallots, chopped
• 3/4 tsp crushed red pepper
• 3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/2 lb. cooked ham, cut into matchsticks
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in linguine and return to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain well in a colander.

2. Heat oil in a deep, 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic, shallots, and red pepper, stirring, until garlic is fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add walnuts and cook, stirring, until they give off a toasted smell, about 1 minute. Add ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until ham is hot and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes more.

3. Add linguine and lightly toss with ham mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley.
