To make the pesto, place the walnuts in a food processor and chop finely. Mix the walnuts with the grated zucchini, 3 tbsp of the Parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp olive oil and the lemon juice. Set aside.
Cook the spaghetti in salted, boiling water for 8-10 min until tender, adding the tortellini after 6-7 mins. Drain and separate out the tortellini. Mix the tortellini with the ham, Swiss cheese and fried onions.
Divide the spaghetti in half. Mix one half with the tomato sauce and the other half with the zucchini pesto. Divide each pasta dish between 4 plates then sprinkle with chives and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve.
