Directions:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt.
- Stir in pasta and cook until al dente, about 4 minutes.

- Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients, except oil, in a food processor and pulse until almost smooth.
- With motor running, add oil in a stream and process until well combined.
- Transfer to a bowl; salt and pepper to taste, for pesto.
- Transfer pasta to another bowl; toss with 1 cup pesto and 1/4 cup reserved cooking liquid until coated well, adding additional cooking liquid if too dry; salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer to serving bowls and top each with a dollop of remaining pesto.
- Garnish with basil sprigs, nuts and cheese, if desired.
