Salami Noodles Alla Mama Recipes

PASTA A LA MAMA

Steps:

• In a large nonstick, deep-sided saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until just starting to get soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and stir well. Cover and lower the heat, letting the cauliflower steam until almost fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the cover; raise the heat to medium to evaporate most of the cooking liquid. Add a splash more olive oil and the garlic and brown over medium-high heat until the cauliflower is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta and toss together to combine.
• Add the bread crumbs and cheese and stir well to coat, slightly browning the crumbs, about 2 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more cheese, if desired. Serve with crusty Italian bread and butter.

SALAMI NOODLES ALLA MAMA

Steps:

• Brown salami, onion and green bell pepper in butter.
• Add noodles and pan-fry to a golden color.
• Add salt and chicken broth; cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until noodles are al dente.

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.

PASTA WITH SALAMI AND PEAS

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.
