What is Nduja? It's an artisanal spicy Calabrian Spread that also makes an awesome pasta sauce.
Here's more information about Nduja. The link is to Wikipedia.
I ordered the Nduja from this company because Pasta Grammar highly recommends them.
This spread is tasty on crusty bread, and it can also easily be incorporated into other recipes. It will be a great addition to my breakfast egg muffin sandwich.
Now, on to the recipe, but first, put on a large pot of water to boil.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, one large enough to hold the pasta. Sauté the onions until tender, add the nduja, and stir until it melts.
Now add the tomatoes and some salt, stir, stir.
Then add the cooked pasta and a splash of pasta water if needed.
I served this alongside a pork chop, and green salad. Deeeelicious.
Enjoy!

160 g short dry pasta (we recommend paccheri, ziti, penne lisce, or similar) Put a large pot of water on to boil. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over a medium flame on the stovetop. Once it begins to shimmer, add the onion and sautèe until tender. Add the 'nduja and stir frequently until it melts. Add the tomatoes and a large pinch of salt, to taste. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat. Meanwhile, when the water comes to a rolling boil, salt it generously and add the pasta. When the pasta is very al dente (usually about a minute before the provided instructions), use a slotted spoon to transfer it into the sauce. Stir all together over high heat until the 'nduja sauce evenly coats the pasta. If the pasta is still too al dente (undercooked) for your taste, simply add a small ladleful of the pasta water into the sauce and continue to cook as the moisture boils off. Repeat as necessary until it is cooked to your liking. Serve immediately. Buon appetito! Source: Pasta Grammar |
