Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add pancetta and garlic, cook 4-5 minutes or until pancetta is crisp and garlic is fragrant but not coloured.

Toss pasta and blanched broccolini into a pan and mix well. Add a little of the cooking liquid if the pasta is too dry. Remove from heat, stir in pecorino and season with salt and pepper.Sprinkle with extra pecorino and a drizzle of oil. Serve immediately.
