Ingredients (for 2 people)

Total preparation time: about 30 min.

• 250 gr artisanal orecchiette
• 1 jar of turnip greens pesto
• olive oil q.b.
• 1 clove garlic
• Salt to taste.
• Chili pepper to taste.
• 50 g of guanciale
• 80 g of stracciatella di burrata cheese
• 30 g of wheat taralli

Preparation

Pour the orecchiette pasta into plenty of salted water. Meanwhile, take a frying pan and with a tablespoon of olive oil start browning the guanciale cut into strips along with the garlic and chili pepper.

As soon as the garlic starts to sauté remove it from the pan, wait for the guanciale to get crispy, and turn off the heat. Separately, in a bowl, crumble the taralli coarsely.

Drain the orecchiette pasta al dente, keeping some of the cooking water aside, and pour it into the pan of guanciale along with the turnip greens pesto. Whisk vigorously until all ingredients are blended.

When finished, serve, decorating the plate with stracciatella and a sprinkling of crumbled wheat taralli.

Enjoy, and remember that you can find the ingredients to prepare this recipe inside the U’ Pack and Aperipack mystery boxes.
