Spicy Nduja Vodka Pasta
Nduja is a dangerously addictive, spreadable firecracker of Calabrian pork and chillies that melts into a smoky, spicy sauce all over anything it touches. In this case, it is the perfect addition to a classic vodka pasta (which is one of the simplist and most delicious pastas you can make!)
Ingredients
Method
- Over medium heat, cook onion in olive oil until softened and aromatic. Add nduja and using a wooden spoon breakdown until combined with the onion. Add tomato paste and stir to combine.
- Increase heat slightly and, removing pan from heat pour in vodka, next carefully flambé to burn of alcohol. Reduce heat and add cream and cooked pasta along with basil and salt to season. Toss well to incorporate, if needed use pasta water to loosen sauce.
- Serve to a large platter garnished with extra basil and grated parmesan.
Notes
You’ll find nduja at delis.
