Mix everything together well, and then add the last ingredients – the ground nuts. As, I said I am using brazil nuts but pine nuts will be great.

Tips

By using the nuts in this recipe, not only we add some extra flavour and texture to this pasta dish, but we also add the protein. If you are not vegan, and want to add some cheese, parmesan or ricotta salata would go nicely here.
