Pesto Pasta Salad

I think pesto is up there on my Mt. Rushmore of foods. It seems like any green + any nut + any hard cheese + raw garlic + good olive oil + salt = way more than the sum of its parts. This one was basil, pistachio, grana padano, garlic, olive oil, and a little bit of lemon juice served room temperature with leftover pasta.
