In a pan, heat the oil and sauté the garlic with a sprig of rosemary until golden. Add the lardo and let it melt over low heat, then add the broccoli, tomato cubes, and broth. Bring to a boil, then remove the garlic and rosemary. Meanwhile, cook the Mammoli in plenty of salted boiling water, drain, and transfer to the pan. Toss for a few minutes, adding a little cooking water if too dry. Sprinkle with Parmesan or mild pecorino, parsley or herbs. Adjust salt and pepper and, if desired, add a little chili pepper. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. (Optional black truffle should be added at the end, but do not add the chili pepper).
