Ingredients

1. 3/4 pound tomatillos—husked, rinsed and halved
2. 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3. 2 jalapeños, seeded and sliced
4. 1 anchovy fillet, chopped
5. 1/4 cup chopped basil
6. 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
7. 1/4 cup snipped chives
8. 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
9. 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
10. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
11. 1 1/2 pounds farfalle pasta
12. One 1/2-pound piece of ricotta salata
13. 1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery leaves

Directions

1. Light a grill. In a medium saucepan of boiling water, cook the tomatillos for 1 minute. Drain and let cool. In a food processor, pulse the tomatillos with the garlic, jalapeños, anchovy, basil, parsley and chives until mixed. Slowly pour in 1 cup of the olive oil, pulsing until blended but still slightly chunky. Stir in the lime juice and season the salsa with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the farfalle until al dente.
3. Meanwhile, drizzle the olive oil over the ricotta salata and grill over a hot fire until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
4. Drain the farfalle and return it to the pot. Stir in the salsa verde and the celery leaves. Grate half of the ricotta salata over the pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Grate the remaining ricotta salata over the farfalle and serve.
