Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Toss walnut sauce with pasta. Garnish with fresh chives.

PASTA ALLE CINQUE PI
The name cinque Pi refers to the 5 (Italian = cinque) most important ingredients in this sauce which in Italian all start with the letter p: panna (cream), purea di pomodoro (tomato puree), prezzemolo (parsley), parmigiano (parmesan), pepe (pepper). This pasta dish which originates from Italy is very popular in Switzerland. Therefore, I categorized it as Italian and Swiss. My BF who is Italian actually said that he has never seen it on the menu in Italia. Here in Switzerland you can find it in nearly ever Italian restaurant and many people cook it at home.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cheese. Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino Romano are essential for the best flavor.
- Cook the pasta al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pasta. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to make the sauce. This will give the ingredients plenty of room to brown and develop flavor.
- Cook the sauce over medium heat. This will help it thicken and prevent it from burning.
- Stir the sauce frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Cook for a few minutes, or until the pasta is heated through.
- Serve the pasta immediately, topped with additional cheese and parsley.
