Pasta sauce with spicy salami

Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 250 g pasta (preferably spaghetti or thin ribbon pasta)
  • 1 can/n tomatoes, chunky
  • 1 small onion(s)
  • 1 clove(s) garlic
  • 200 g salami, spicy (Italian)
  • 1 tbsp crème fraîche or sour cream
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil
  • possibly oregano

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions. For the sauce, peel the salami and cut it into small cubes. Brown the salami in a pan without oil (do not let it get too hot) until the fat renders. Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until translucent, adding a little more olive oil if necessary. Then simmer the tomatoes over medium heat. The salami already gives the sauce a hearty flavor, and all you need to do is season with salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon of crème fraîche/sour cream, and perhaps a teaspoon of oregano. NOTE: The most important thing with this sauce is the choice of salami! Salamis with a high paprika content, such as Spanish chorizo, are not suitable for this dish, as the paprika will make the sauce slightly bitter. It’s best to try it at the butcher, as the sausage should also have a certain amount of heat!
