Ingredients
- 14 oz ground beef or veal or pork (400g)
- 3½ oz nduja sausage (100g)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 small bunch basil
- 14 oz can tomato polpa (400g)
- salt & pepper
- 17 oz dried pasta (450g)(penne, rigatoni etc.)
Instructions
- Fry the nduja for 2-3 minutes until it dissolves and renders out some of its fat.
- Add the ground beef and mix well. Press down to separate the meat
- Add the garlic and basil and stir for 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the tomato and ½ can of water and add a little salt & pepper (about ½ tsp salt as nduja can often be seasoned too) and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer with the lid on very gently for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and check for seasoning, adding a little more salt if you think it needs some.
- Cook your pasta until al dente then drain, retaining a little of the cooking liquid.
- Add to pan and spoon over enough of the sauce to coat generously. Add a little of the cooking liquid too to loosen the sauce.
