A creamy, enveloping, and tasty first course with a touch of crunchiness, perfect for a quick and flavorful dinner.
Boil the broccoli florets in salted boiling water for 15-20 minutes, then blend them with a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt, and cooking water to achieve a smoother consistency.
Finely chop a slice of bread with a knife or mixer and set aside.
Cut the guanciale into strips and brown it in a pan over low heat without any additional fats until crispy, then set aside on absorbent paper.
In the same pan, toast the bread until golden, creating a crispy crumble. (Alternatively, use 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs instead of bread.)
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water, drain it al dente, and toss it with the broccoli cream.
Plate by adding the crispy guanciale, stracciatella, bread crumble, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
