Preparation
Mince the garlic and coarsely chop the porcini mushrooms. Fry together in a pan with a generous helping of oil, salt and pepper. After 5 to 7 minutes add the Speck Alto Adige PGI and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Cook the pici in plenty of salted water, then blend the chickpeas with 1½ ladles of the cooking water, two tablespoons of oil and a pinch of salt. The result should be creamy; add more cooking water a little at a time as necessary.
Drain the pici, keeping some of the cooking water, and pan-fry them with the sauce of porcini and Speck Alto Adige PGI, adding a few tablespoons of cooking water as necessary to adjust the consistency.
Place the chickpea purée on a serving dish, add the pici and finish with a few sticks of Speck Alto Adige PGI, chopped parsley, a drizzle of oil and some pepper. Sprinkle grated cheese on top if desired.
