Cook pasta according to package directions.
Heat oil in a skillet. Once hot, add nuts. Brown the nuts, stirring frequently.
Once the nuts start to toast and become fragrant (about 1-2 minutes), turn down the heat to medium low and stir in garlic, and a large pinch of salt.
Let the garlic sizzle a bit, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden (about 2 minutes). Add in the herb mixture.
If the herb mixture absorbs all the oil, add a little more oil or pasta water when you toss it with the pasta.
Add drained pasta to the garlic herb mixture and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning, toss with Parmesan cheese and serve.
If you reheat the pasta in a microwave later, form it into a wreath shape so it reheats more evenly.
