1
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup walnut pieces and 1/2 cup water. Puree until smooth and set aside.
2
In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, all-purpose flour, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper.
3
Bring the milk mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
4
Stir in room temperature cream cheese and walnut mixture, then let it simmer on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes more, stirring frequently.
5
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the lemon juice and lemon zest.
6
In a large pot of generously salted water, cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
7
Return the cooked fettuccine to the pot and add the sauce, spinach, and shredded Parmesan cheese. Toss to coat evenly, adding some or all of the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
8
Divide pasta into 4 bowls, garnish with 1/4 cup walnut pieces and chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
