Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 pounds orecchiette
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, smashed
3 tablespoons pine nuts
3 ounces sliced pancetta, coarsely chopped
5 scallions, thinly sliced
10 ounces frozen chopped broccoli, thawed, drained, and patted dry
Accompaniment: grated parmesan

Steps:

  • Cook orecchiette in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until al dente.
  • While pasta cooks, heat butter and oil with garlic in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until garlic starts to sizzle. Add nuts and cook, stirring, until pale golden. Discard garlic and stir in pancetta and scallions, then cook 1 minute. Stir in broccoli and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook over high heat, stirring, 4 minutes.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta and stir into broccoli mixture. Add some of reserved water to moisten if needed.

This orecchiette dish was a bit too salty for my taste. The pancetta was a bit overpowering and the broccoli was a bit overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The pancetta didn't add much flavor and the broccoli was a bit overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Overall, this dish was good. The flavors were well-balanced and the orecchiette was cooked well. However, I found that the pancetta was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll use less of it.
