Creamy Pasta With Crispy Salami Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place pasta in the pot, and cook for 6 minutes. Mix in peas. Continue cooking 4 to 6 minutes, until pasta is al dente. Drain, and return to pot.
• Heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in green onions and garlic. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until green onions are tender. Mix in salami, and continue cooking until heated through. Transfer to the pot with the cooked pasta. Add Parmesan cheese, and gently toss.

Steps:

• Cook pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.
• Meanwhile, cook and stir salami in large skillet on medium-high heat 4 to 5 min. or until crisp. Remove salami from pan with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 2 tsp. drippings from skillet. Add mushrooms to reserved drippings; cook 5 min. or until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally.
• Drain pasta, reserving 1 Tbsp. of the cooking water. Add cream cheese, reserved cooking water and nutmeg to mushrooms in skillet; cook and stir 1 min. or until cream cheese is melted and mixture is well blended. Add pasta; mix lightly.

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.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 8-10 mins or according to packet instructions until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick frying pan and when hot, add the salami and fry over a medium heat, for 4-5 mins or until crisp and the fat has come out the salami.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the salami to a plate.
• Return the pan to the heat, add the mushrooms to the salami drippings and sauté over a medium heat for 6-8 mins stirring occasionally until nicely browned.
• Add the mascarpone with the wine or water, nutmeg and seasoning to the pan, then cook gently, stirring until the sauce is smooth.
• Drain the pasta in a colander and tip into the sauce with the salami.
• Cook over a low heat until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Serve in bowls with plenty of Parmesan cheese on top.

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.
• Reserve a cup or so of pasta cooking water, then drain pasta. Add pasta to skillet and stir well; add small amounts of pasta water if needed to correct the consistency. Let stand 2-3 minutes to meld flavors. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium-high. Cook half of mushrooms in a single layer, undisturbed, until edges are brown and starting to crisp, about 3 minutes. Give mushrooms a toss and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until all sides are brown and crisp, about 5 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a plate; season with salt. Repeat with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and mushrooms and more salt.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and return all of the mushrooms to the pot. Add shallots and cook, stirring often, until shallots are translucent and softened, about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions.
• Using tongs, transfer pasta to pot with mushrooms and add cream and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Increase heat to medium, bring to a simmer, and cook, tossing constantly, until pasta is al dente and liquid is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat. Add lemon zest and juice, parsley, butter, 1/2 oz. Parmesan, and lots of pepper and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Divide pasta among bowls and top with more Parmesan.
