Amy's Pasta Creation

Amy dreams it up and I create it.  I don't know where she came up with this one but its a definite keeper for our address book.
1/2 Cup Pancetta (or more)
1 Lg Onion diced
2 Cups Broccoli  florets
1/4 Cups Pine nuts
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 Cup olive oil
1/4 Cup fresh chopped Basil Leaves 
Whole wheat pasta of choice.
1/2 Tsp Chili flakes
grated Parmesan Cheese to taste

Keep in mind that the ratios of this recipe are personal preference.

1. Cook pasta as per directions on the box minus 1 minute.  Be sure to season the water with salt.

2. Saute the Pancetta and Onion in olive oil.  Be sure to let it caramelize to get the most flavor.

3. Add the Broccoli Florets and pinenuts.

4. Add Garlic, basil, and additional Olive Oil.

5. Once pasta is done cooking add one ladle of pasta water.

6. Drain and rinse remaining pasta and add to pan.

7. Stir in chili flakes and fresh Parmesan.  Toss and Serve!

  1. Ok, this recipe came from one of our favorite shows..."The Chew". It was a Michael Symon recipe.
