Method
Step 1
Shell walnuts and grind with a pinch of nutmeg.
Step 2
Melt butter in a wide pan over medium heat and sauté ground nuts. Stir for about 30 seconds, add heavy cream and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
Step 3
In the meantime, boil pasta in plenty of salted water according to package directions.
Step 4
Drain and toss with the prepared sauce and a couple of ladlefuls of cooking water, if the pasta is too dry. Combine and serve immediately.

Gemelli
Gemelli is a simple shape of two strands of pasta twisted together. These small pasta twists are also remarkably versatile, as their shape holds the flavor of sauce beautifully while retaining the firm "al dente" texture that you expect from Barilla.
