In a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, cook pasta until just tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, rinse under warm water and drain well. Tip into a large bowl and toss with olive oil to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
For the dressing, process all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour over pasta. Toss well. Add goat cheese and tamarillo, and toss carefully. Serve on individual plates, garnished with basil sprigs.
