Preparation

How to prepare Pasta Nduja and Pecorino

To prepare pasta nduja and pecorino, start with the onions: clean and thinly slice them 1. Move to the stove and bring water to a boil for the pasta. Meanwhile, pour the onions into a non-stick pan 2 and let them stew on low heat for about 15 minutes 3; if the bottom dries too quickly, add a little water.

When the onion is soft, add the 'nduja 4 and let it melt with a ladle of hot water 5 and let it flavor for a few moments 6.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in boiling salted water to your taste 7 and when there are a couple of minutes left to finish cooking, drain it directly into the sauce 8. Raise the heat and add a little more water 9.

Turn off the heat and add the grated pecorino 10, if necessary add very little water and mix quickly 11. Serve your pasta 'nduja and pecorino with some basil and a drizzle of raw oil: enjoy your meal 12.
