Pasta Pangratatto Broncillini

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1-2 teaspoons of chilli flakes
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 2 bunches of broccolini
• 150mL white wine
• 400g of short pasta
• Salt for seasoning
• 2 slices of stale bread, blitzed in the Kenwood Food Processor
• 2 slices of bacon, shredded

Methods

1. Begin by making the bacon pangrattato. In the Kenwood Food Processor, blitz the bread first and then add the shredded bacon. Set aside.
2. Heat up half the oil in a large frying pan. Add the bread crumb mix, a pinch of salt and toss for 3-4 minutes over medium-high heat until crunchy. Set aside.
3. Wipe the pan clean and add the remaining oil into the pan. Heat and add the chilli, garlic and cook for 45 seconds until fragrant.
4. Deglaze the pan with wine and boil for 2 minutes. Set aside.
5. Drop pasta and broccolini into a large pot of salted, boiling water. Stir and cook until al dente.
6. Drain the pasta and broccolini, transferring them to the garlic and chilli in the frying pan with a splash of pasta water. Toss the pasta in the pan for 1-2 minutes to coat the pasta evenly.
7. Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with bacon pangrattato.
