My nonna used to make a pasta dish with broccoli and pork belly. Boil pasta and broccoli, fry up some pork belly in olive oil, and combine. It was very simple but also my favorite dish my nonna made. When my mother was alive she made it too, but added sundried tomatoes to the mix.
I'm expecting my first child and I wish I learned how to make this the way my mother/nonna did, or at least a name to put to the recipe. I can make it but it's lacking something, which is why I'm searching for a recipe.

Maybe she also fried some garlic with the pancetta?

Here's what I do:
- take the pork belly and trim off some of the fat, then slice into 1cm wide pieces, salt and pepper
- put in pan with olive oil, fry until cooked through but still very soft
- add some garlic, chili flakes, sliced sundried tomatoes to the pan, cook until meat slightly firm, remove from heat
- bring water to a boil, put penne in, cook until about 95% done, then add broken up broccoli, cook until semi-firm and penne is done
- combine everything
I just feel like it's awfully plain, something my nonna and mother missed.

What kind of Pasta? Was there Pine Nuts? What part of Italy was she from?

I wanna say that OP would be missing pine nuts as they seem to be a natural compliment to such a dish
