    1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

    2. Place pancetta on a baking tray and bake for 5-6 minutes until crisp. Drain on paper towel. Roughly break into shards.

    3. Meanwhile, process the basil, parsley, garlic, oil, parmesan and half the pine nuts in a processor to form a smooth paste.

    4. Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water to packet instructions. Drain well, then toss with the pesto.

    5. Divide pasta among bowls, then scatter with crisp pancetta, rocket, reserved nuts and shaved parmesan, if desired.
