Description

This recipe balances the taste of salty Pancetta & creamy Walnut Pesto for a warming supper dish. You won’t believe it takes only a few minutes to make!

Ingredients

250 g La Tua Pasta Trofie
100 g Pancetta
90 g Walnut Pesto
30 g Parmigiano Reggiano

Please note that some essential ingredients may
be listed in the recipe but not included when purchasing.

Instructions

Dice the Pancetta into cubes and heat it in a large frying pan; take care not to burn it, but bring it to a light crisp. Once cooked, keep roughly two tablespoons of Pancetta aside.

In a large saucepan, add 2.5 litres of salted water and bring to a gentle boil. Cook the Trofie for 3–4 minutes.

Put the Pesto in the frying pan with the Pancetta and add in the cooked Trofie using a slotted spoon, making sure that some of the starchy pasta water gets into the frying pan with the Pesto; stir gently to emulsify the sauce. The starchy pasta water is the secret to getting a good coating of the Pesto on the pasta.

Garnish this dish with a generous sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano and the remaining Pancetta on top.

Buon Appetito!
