Rotini with Walnut Sauce

This is a great meal if you have skinny kids - lots of good fats!  In my food processor, I combined:

1T melted butter
3/4c toasted walnuts
1/4c parmesan cheese
1tsp dried thyme
salt and pepper

I pulsed to combine then drizzled in 1/4c olive oil.  I put this in a bowl and mixed with a couple T of whole milk.  The recipe called for heavy cream, but I didn't have any.  I boiled about 1/3lb rotini, added it to the walnut mixture and stirred in about 1/4c of the pasta water.  I also mixed in some peas, but that's optional!
