Green Olive, Artichoke, Walnut and Chilli Fettuccine 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil 12 cup walnut pieces 340 grams marinated artichoke hearts, drained 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan plus extra for serving 10 large green olives, pitted 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons capers, drained 2 large cloves garlic, crushed sea salt and ground pepper 12 - 1 teaspoon chilli flakes 300 grams dried fettucine 6 small dried chillis, optional Put the oil, artichokes, olives, capers, garlic, chilli flakes, dried chillis and the walnuts in a large frying pan. Cook over a very low heat for 8-10 minutes until everything smells toasty and the walnuts are lightly golden. Don't let it boil as the garlic and walnuts will burn. While the topping is cooking, cook the fettucine in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente. Lift the pasta out with tongs and add to the frypan along with the parmesan so it melts and emulsifies with the water to make a light sauce to coat, adding more pasta water if needed.
