Small Pasta With Salami Food

CREAMY PASTA WITH CRISPY SALAMI

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs and Parmesan in a large bowl. Cut salami into 1/2-inch strips. Heat a skillet over medium-high, then coat with olive oil. Cook salami and garlic until salami is crisp. Cook spaghetti; before draining, reserve 1 cup pasta water. Add hot pasta to egg mixture, along with garlic and half the salami. Toss, adding enough pasta water to coat pasta in a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve topped with a sprinkle of parsley and remaining salami.

SMALL PASTA WITH SALAMI

Steps:

• Bring some water for the pasta to a boil over medium heat and salt it generously. Add the pasta and cook for about 10 minutes or as the package directs.
• Warm a fairly wide, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add the salami strips, not worrying if they clump together. Stir with a wooden spoon for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and add about 1/2 a tomato can of water.
• Stir in 1 tablespoon butter, then add the bouquet garni, if using, and the drained beans. Leave it to bubble away, firmly but gently, while the pasta finishes cooking.
• Just before draining the pasta, remove and reserve a little of the cooking water.
• Stir the drained pasta into the sauce, then remove from the heat, and stir in the remaining butter. If you think the sauce needs it, splash in some of the pasta cooking water, and stir again with a wooden spoon. Leave to stand for 2 minutes before serving, removing the bouquet garni, if used.

SALAMI PASTA ALLA GRICIA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 cups of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
• While the pasta cooks, in a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil and salami over medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until crisp and golden-brown, 7 to 10 minutes. (Don't be tempted to raise the heat, as you need the fat to fully render from the salami to form the sauce.) Remove from heat and stir in the black pepper until fragrant. Set aside until the pasta's ready.
• Add 1½ cups pasta water to the salami and simmer over medium-low heat, shaking and stirring until the water emulsifies with the fat to create a homogeneous liquid, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add the cooked pasta and pecorino, and cook, shaking the pot and stirring vigorously until the cheese is melted and the sauce glosses the noodles, 2 to 4 minutes. If the sauce is thin, keep simmering. If you can't see the sauce in the bottom of the pot or on the noodles, add more pasta water and keep stirring over medium-low.
• Serve right away, with more pecorino on top.
