Directions
Pasta With Pancetta, Broccoli or Broccoli Rabe and Pine Nuts, Pappardelle – wide, ribbon-like pasta – is dressed with pancetta, broccoli and Pecorino Romano cheese with a lovely result Adapted from Bon Appetit , I have actually made this dish a few times and I love it I followed recipe mostly, left the garlic in the pan and then ‘toasted’ my pine nuts before removing both and then continuing along I also got my pasta timed fairly well, so managed to use pasta water for the 1 cup water and didn’t end up needing to add extra at the end Lovely dish
