Ingredients

  • ½ cup walnuts (coarsely chopped)

  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest (plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice finely grated)

  • ¼ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (shaved)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the walnuts in a pie plate and toast until fragrant and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
