Add garlic and pistachios to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are thoroughly chopped. Then, add in all the fresh herbs and pulse again until all ingredients are uniformly chopped.
While the food processor is running, gradually stream in the oil. Once the mixture is fully combined, turn off the machine.
Transfer the pesto from the food processor to a bowl. Stir in the pecorino cheese until well combined.
Add tagliatelle with a pinch of salt to boiling water. Boil 3-5 mins.
Serve the pesto by tossing it with the tagliatelle.
