For an extra layer of flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the skillet. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for heat. If you don't have basil-infused olive oil, you can use regular olive oil and add a few fresh basil leaves to the skillet during cooking. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
