A pleasantly delicate, exotic recipe

Walnut sauce was already known to the Persians and over the centuries it has been used in Oriental and Balkan cuisine. There are two different accounts of its spread in Liguria: one says that the Genoese, during the time of the Maritime Republics around 1500, may not have brought the sauce itself, but certainly the recipe across the sea. The other says that the walnut sauce was made in the Rapallo area to mask the bitter taste of the wild herbs used to fill the pasta.
