You guys are making it sound easy, as a good nasus player, i can say that there are prehaps TWO or at MOST THREE champions that can effectively stop him from farming. The main reason being that all nasus needs to do is to intentionally miss a few CS and have the lane pushed to his side, then just freeze the lane and farm, farm, farm. The few champions that can counter him are those that can not only poke nasus and kill him before he recall-tele back to lane, but also have the ability to escape any jungler ganks because the lane is so pushed (teemo - shrooms/W, riven - Q/E). In the end, you really need some sort of ranged poke champ to keep him off his farm under his turret and counter his lifesteal (so teemo, teemo and more teemo). Otherwise, a smart nasus will simply miss a few early farm, let the lane push and either farm - recall - Tp and after around 150 farm, he'll start going agressive and force YOU out of lane. In other words if your not teemo, your pretty much screwed if nasus's jungler cares about him.

So INSTEAD OF fighting him head on, roam mid, invade enemy jungle with your jungler. Nasus can't help them, so abuse the fact that while you just got a assist on their mid laner, nasus is farming his Q top lane. Now get your jungler or mid laner and roam top. If you can't kill him, then you should at least be able to poke him down so he needs to back, Then take top turret and force objectives. Nasus is still farming his Q top. Now force down mid or bot and win TF's because nasus needs farm to be effective and you guys should win 4v5s. Win the game with nasus at ~300 farm and trying (and failing) to hold nexus or inhib turrets against 5 people.
