  4. chopped chives, 2 tablespoons of pine nuts, half the haloumi and the lime zest. Use a little of the reserved pasta cooking water to ‘loosen’ the pasta if needed. Stir through the hot pasta and grated parmesan. Season to taste with black pepper and a little salt.
  5. Divide into 4 bowls and top each with the remaining haloumi, pine nuts, and a couple of chive spears or basil leaves.
