Heat a pot of salted water to cook the pasta.
Grate half the cheese and set aside to decorate the plates. Reserve half the basil too.
Meanwhile, blend the drained tomatoes and peppers, cashews, remaining pecorino, oregano, remaining fresh basil and peeled, crushed garlic.
Gradually add the olive oil, blending until smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the pasta into the boiling water, stirring occasionally, and cook for the time indicated on the packet.
Meanwhile, fry the ham matchsticks in a pan with a little olive oil for a few minutes.
Drain the pasta and toss immediately with the sauce. Sprinkle the ham matches, Parmesan shavings and basil leaves over the pasta. Serve immediately.
