  1. Recipe:

    * Cook your pasta as instructed
    * Slice red onions (preferably Tropea onions) into rings and half them. Saute in lots of olive oil until soft.
    * Add some Nduja (around 30g per person) and let it melt in the oil. Add pasta water regularly so it forms a nice sauce.
    * Add your cooked pasta (Mezze Maniche, Rigatoni, and Casarecche work perfectly fine) and stir until it is covered in sauce.
    * Grate a good chunk of Pecorino Romano (around 40g per person), add it heap after heap, and stir until everything becomes creamy and delicious.

    There is lots of spiciness from the Nduja and creaminess from the pecorino!

  2. Looks tremendous, don’t have any red onions but might see if I can get away with just really caramelising a cooking onion and do this tonight…
