Pasta con la 'nduja: originale vs. gourmet con la signora Laura Costa e Nino Rossi

'nduja

🥗Healthier: chorizo

💰Cheaper: spicy sausage

'nduja is a rich spreadable salami; chorizo or spicy sausage can provide similar flavors.

Add flour to a clean surface and make a fountain.

Add a bit of olive oil, salt, and water to the center of the fountain.

Knead the dough for about half an hour until smooth.

Let the dough rest for 30 to 45 minutes.

Shape the pasta by hand into maccheroni using a stick of wood called 'binacolo'.

Prepare the sauce by cutting an onion from Tropea.

Heat olive oil in a pan and brown the onion until golden.

Add homemade tomato sauce to the pan and let it cook until dense.

Add 'nduja to the sauce and let it boil for 5 minutes.

Boil the pasta in salted water for 5 minutes until 'al dente'.

Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce, stirring to combine.

Plate the pasta and serve.
