Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ small onion (peeled and chopped)
- 6oz salami (170g) Cut into cubes (skin removed if it has skin)
- 2 garlic cloves (peeled & chopped)
- 1 can tomato polpa or passata (not puree) (finely chopped tomatoes)(400g/14oz)
- penne pasta (around 300-400g/10-14oz)
- salt & pepper
- parmigiano reggiano (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan or deep frying pan, heat the oil until just hot. Add the onion and fry gently for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the salami and garlic and continue to fry for 4-5 minutes until the salami has rendered out its fat.
- Pour in the tomato and 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 10 minutes. Season with salt & pepper then remove from the heat.
- Cook the penne to the packet instructions in salted water - and when done, drain (retain about a cup of the cooking liquid).
- Toss the pasta through the sauce, adding some of the cooking liquid to keep the dish nice and saucy.
- Serve in bowls with Parmigiano Reggiano sprinkled over.
