5 Delicious Recipes You Can Make With ’Nduja

Nduja is one of the most underrated but versatile Italian ingredients: spreadable, spicy, and packed with flavor! Whether you are cooking a quick weeknight dinner or impressing guests, this Calabrian spreadable salami can elevate any dish with just a spoonful.

’Nduja Pasta

A rich pasta dish perfect for busy nights.

Ingredients:

• 400 g (14 oz) pici (or other pasta of your choice)

For the sauce:

• 1 small red onion, peeled and chopped

• 200 g (7 oz) nduja, broken into chunks

• 400 g (14 oz) small cherry tomatoes, cut in half, or canned peeled tomatoes

• A few basil leaves, torn into pieces by hand if large

• Olive oil

• Salt

To finish the dish (optional):

• Freshly grated pecorino toscano or romano

Instructions:

1. Gently sauté the chopped onion in olive oil until soft and translucent.

2. Add the 'nduja and let it melt. Then add the tomatoes along with the basil and a good pinch of salt. Let simmer gently for 15 minutes or so, until the tomatoes have melted into a sauce, stirring from time to time.

3. While the sauce is simmering, bring well-salted water to a boil and cook the pasta al dente.

4. Drain the pasta (but not too well) and add it to the sauce. Mix well, still over very gentle heat.

   Serve right away, with cheese for those who want it.
