Method
Cook the pasta in well-salted water. Keep a cup of the cooking water before draining.
Blend the basil, unsalted cashews, garlic, parmesan and lemon juice, pouring in the oil until smooth. Season to taste.
Toss the hot pasta with the pesto, adding splashes of the cooking water until glossy.
Fold in the tomatoes and finish with the herby cashews, roughly chopped.
