A spicy pasta dish featuring 'Nduja spreadable salami, whole peeled tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes, garnished with basil and Pecorino Romano cheese.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. In a skillet, add olive oil. Then add in your onion and garlic. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Once onions are softened, add in your cherry tomatoes and cook for approximately 3 minutes. Add in your whole peeled tomatoes and break them down with a spoon. Add a 1/4 cup of water to the empty tomato can and then add that to your pan. Add a Parmesan rind and a sprig of basil. Lightly season with salt and bring to a simmer. Simmer on low for approximately 15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. (You can put your noodles in the boiling water at this point). At the 10-minute mark, put in the Nduja sausage. Stir until it has combined into the sauce. Taste and season with more salt and red pepper flakes if needed. Remove the basil sprig and Parmesan rind. Add in cooked pasta and a ladle of pasta water. Toss and enjoy. Garnish with basil and Pecorino Romano cheese.
