Crunchy Salami Pasta Recipe
A crunchy salami pasta recipe with a handful of pecorino cheese... Who could ever say no to such a savory little Italian dish?
Ingredients
- 9 oz dry spaghetti (250 g)
- 3 oz salami (90 g), sliced
- 2 tbsp pine nuts
- 1 oz pecorino (28 g)
- olive oil
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
-
Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Season with salt. Then add the spaghetti and cook until tender.
-
Transfer the pine nuts to a dry pan and roast them over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until they start to brown. Remove the pan from the heat and let the pine nuts cool off.
-
Then heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over high heat and add the salami. Quickly stir fry until it crisp up and the fat starts to melt. Season with pepper and a little pinch of salt. Take the pan off the heat and set it aside until needed later.
-
Strain the pasta and transfer it back to the pan. Then add the fried salami, half of the pecorino and the toasted pine nuts. Sprinkle with some olive oil.
-
Toss the spaghetti well and check the seasoning. Add extra pepper and salt to taste if necessary. Transfer the pasta onto plates. Finish with the rest of the pecorino cheese and serve immediately.
