Pasta with Peas, Basil and Pumpkin Seeds

I hate to say it, but another recipe from Nigel Slater. Once again the combination sounds a bit weird, but I love peas and I love basil, so I thought I'd give it a go. The toasted pumpkin seeds are delicious and go perfectly with the garlicky, oily peas. I never know what pasta to have with peas as they're so pesky and roll all over the plate, I guess you just have to go with it and have whatever you fancy. I think something little fettucine or parpadelle would go well here. I also couldn't resist grating over a little cheese...
