How to prepare: Half sleeves with broccoli, tuna bottarga and pecorino cheese


To make the half sleeves with broccoli, tuna bottarga and pecorino, start peeling the vegetables. Remove the stems of the broccoli and divide them into florets that you will cut into small parts. Heat oil in a rather large pan, add the clove of garlic and a piece of chilli pepper and let them flavor. Add the broccoli florets and brown them for a few minutes.


Boil the half sleeves very al dente and drain them conserving the cooking water. Transfer them to the pan with the broccoli and bring them to the end of cooking as if they were a risotto, adding a little water at a time. Add the sage leaves and emulsify with a tablespoon of oil.

When cooked, remove the sage leaves, garlic and chilli and divide the pasta into individual dishes. Sprinkle each portion with grated bottarga and pecorino flakes, then serve.
