Creamy Pasta With Crispy Salami Recipes

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.

PASTA WITH SALAMI

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook penne per directions.
• Heat a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, dry. When hot, add salami. Stir until crispy and fat has rendered.
• Add 1 tbsp butter. When melted, add onion and saute until limp 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes and wine. Add water to tomato can and rinse out; add to pan. Add beans, thyme, oregano, basil, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Stir well and let bubble while pasta cooks. Just before pasta is done, swirl in remaining butter.
