I love making this dish on a night that I just don't want to cook! All you have to do is boil the noodles and put the rest of the ingredients in a food processor. Voila! Serve this tasty Rachel Ray with some garlic bread and a salad to round out the meal.

1. Boil the noodles according to package directions. Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until walnuts have browned.
