FUSILLI WITH TOMATO PESTO
This uncooked tomato pesto is a fun take on the classic pesto alla Trapanese. It uses almonds instead of pine nuts and dials the basil way back to let the fresh tomatoes shine. Crispy bacon and breadcrumbs add a salty and smokey crunch to the dish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Toast the almonds in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until lightly browned and starting to crackle, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; reserve the skillet. Add the basil and garlic to the food processor, season with salt and pepper and pulse until finely chopped. Add the tomatoes, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and process until mostly smooth. Transfer the pesto to a large bowl and stir in the Parmesan.
- Salt the boiling water, add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1/3 cup cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta to the bowl with the pesto and toss well to coat, adding splashes of the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the pasta cooks, cook the bacon in the reserved skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the panko and continue to cook, stirring, until golden and crisp, 1 more minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Divide the pasta among bowls. Top with the bacon-panko mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan and sliced basil.

Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss the squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pinch of red pepper flakes. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the broccoli rabe to the boiling water and cook until bright green and tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander using a slotted spoon and run under cold water to stop the cooking; pat dry. (Reserve the boiling water.) Pulse 1 cup of the broccoli rabe, the walnuts, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a food processor until finely chopped. Add 2 tablespoons water and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and process until thick and smooth. Add 2 tablespoons cheese and pulse to incorporate.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain. Return the pasta to the pot and add the remaining cooked broccoli rabe and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in the pesto, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen; season with salt and pepper. Add the squash and gently toss. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons cheese and more pepper.

FUSILLI WITH ARUGULA PESTO AND CRISPY PANCETTA
Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian
Time 40m
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice water bath. Stir the arugula into the boiling water and cook until it is bright green and tender, about 15 seconds. Remove the arugula directly to the ice bath and let cool completely, then drain, gently squeeze out the excess water and set aside. Do the same for the basil. Once the arugula and basil are blanched, cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente.
- Meanwhile, make the pesto. Add the arugula and basil to a food processor and blend until mostly pureed, about 30 seconds. Add oil, pine nuts, garlic and salt and pepper and puree for another 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the cheese and pulse, drizzling more oil as desired, until combined but not fully pureed, another 30 seconds. (See Cook's Note.)
- Place the pesto and butter in a large bowl and add drained pasta to the bowl, reserving some pasta water to thin the sauce as desired. Mix the pesto and pasta, season to taste and crumble the slices of crispy pancetta on top. Serve with extra grated Pecorino and a drizzle of olive oil.
