Rub pistachios together to remove as much outer skin as possible, then grind roughly. Cook pasta in rapidly boiling salted water. Melt butter with cheese in a heavy-based saucepan. As soon as they have melted, add cream and cook very gently for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Remove from heat, add pistachios And cognac, pour over drained pasta and mix thoroughly. Taste for salt and pepper. Top with a few pistachios and serve at once. Bon-Appetit, Exec.Chef.
