Prepare the Guanciale
Slice the guanciale into thin strips and place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Toast the Pine Nuts
In a separate pan, toast the pine nuts over low heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
3
Mix the Greens
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat.
4
Assemble the Dish
On a serving plate, layer the mixed greens, then add the crispy guanciale, dollops of pesto, and torn pieces of mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts on top.

Serve immediately while the guanciale is warm and enjoy your delicious Guanciale dish!
