Wash the herbs. Pluck the leaves from the stems and chop them not too finely. Peel the garlic and finely slice them. Roughly chop the nuts and roast them in a pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the garlic and roast briefly. Set the nuts aside. Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving some of the pasta cooking water. Now stir the herbs into the spaghetti. Toss the dish with the remaining oil, pasta water, and walnut-garlic mixture. Season to taste with salt and plenty of freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately. We serve it with a green salad.
