Corzetti Pasta with Kale Pesto and Pancetta

15 January 2018 by Filippo Romagnoli

corzetti pasta with kale pesto and pancetta

Delicious and easy to make, our recipe for corzetti pasta with kale pesto and pancetta is a perfect marriage between creamy pesto and crispy pancetta. The bitterness of Tuscan kale (“cavolo nero” in Italian) is tamed by subtly sweet pancetta and pine nuts, creating a wintry, comforting dish that is impossible not to love.

Corzetti Pasta with Kale Pesto and Pancetta

Serves 4:

For the sauce:

200 gr kale, trimmed

50 gr freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

20 gr pine nuts

60 gr pancetta, diced

50 gr extra virgin olive oil + 2 tablespoons for frying

salt and pepper

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the kale and cook for 10 minutes, then rinse and refresh under cold water.

Transfer the kale to a food processor with the Parmesan, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil and pulse to a pesto consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Now fry the diced pancetta in a frying pan over high heat (using 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil), until crisp.

Toss the cooked corzetti pasta with the kale pesto and the pancetta. Serve immediately.

ABOUT CORZETTI STAMPS

A corzetti stamp is a two-piece pasta tool: one piece is a pasta cutter, the other is an engraved stamp with a design that embosses itself on the pasta. Our corzetti stamps are handmade in our Tuscany-based workshop using quality woods and no paint or lacquer.
