Add pistachios, lemon juice, grated garlic, olive oil, and salt to a blender or food processor. Pulse the mixture 5-10 times, just until combined, leaving some texture in the nuts.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta 1 minute under al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
Heat the pesto in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss to combine and emulsify the sauce, cooking for an additional minute.
Plate the pasta and garnish generously with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano if desired, or serve as is for a dairy-free option. Serve immediately.
