Ingredients
600g paccheri
2 handfuls Guanciale, chopped
250g Pecorino Romano, grated
4-6 Tbsp Pesto di Pistacchio
Method
- Place the paccheri into a pot of salted, boiling water.
- Add the guanciale to a dry hot pan and cook on medium-high heat until the guanciale is crispy and most of the fat has been rendered.
- In the meantime add the pesto to a large bowl. Set aside.
- When the paccheri are almost done, take a ladle of pasta water and the rendered fat from the guanciale and mix with the pesto, then start to add the Pecorino Romano very slowly while mixing.
- Transfer the cooked paccheri and the guanciale to the bowl, saving the pasta water, and combine.
- Let set for 30 seconds and plate.
