‘Nduja pasta with fresh tomatoes and Parmesan – an easy, spicy pasta dish.
If you like quick pasta with plenty of flavour and a little spicy kick, this recipe is a must. It is made with just a few, flavour-packed ingredients – and takes only a quarter of an hour from start to finish.
Sweet, sun-ripened tomatoes are cooked until soft with garlic before they are joined by ‘nduja – the spicy, spreadable Italian salami that melts into the sauce and brings both heat and depth. A splash of white wine ties it all together, and once it has reduced, grated Parmesan and a little pasta water go in to make the sauce creamy and rich. Fresh basil leaves are the finishing touch.
Toss it with al dente pasta and it is ready to serve – either as a simple main course or as a side for fish, chicken, pork or beef. Perfect when you want to treat yourself or your guests without spending hours in the kitchen.

Kan den laves dagen før?
Hej Titti
Det kan den i hvert fald. Tilbered kun pastaen aldente, så den ikke bliver kedelig.
Og juster med en smule vand ved opvarming 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Hvor kan man købe Nduja ?
Hej Sidsel
Synes de har det mange steder efterhånden 🙂
Det er oftest på glas i supermarkedet – og står ved pestoer og lignende.
Andre supermarkeder kan have den “frisk” hvor den er på køl, oftest vakuumpakket 🙂
Og ellers kan det bestilles online.
Warm wishes, Dianna
