A simple, no-fuss pasta dish that's packed with fragrance and flavour. Few ingredients, create a full and super-charged hit of flavour - learn how to make this delicious penne, salami & tomato dish at home.
In a saucepan or deep frying pan, heat the oil until just hot. Add the onion and fry gently for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the salami and garlic and continue to fry for 4-5 minutes until the salami has rendered out its fat.
Pour in the tomato and 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 10 minutes. Season with salt & pepper then remove from the heat.
Cook the penne to the packet instructions in salted water - and when done, drain (retain about a cup of the cooking liquid).
Toss the pasta through the sauce, adding some of the cooking liquid to keep the dish nice and saucy.
Serve in bowls with Parmigiano Reggiano sprinkled over.
