Ingredients
- 80 g Nduja
- 400 g tomato passata
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small white onion diced
- 400 g tagliatelle pasta
- Burrata 1 or more as desired
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and cook the diced white onion for about 3 minutes until lightly translucent.
- Add gently the 'nduja and gently break it down. If necessary add some warm water so that it helps the 'nduja to break down and emulsify even further.
- Once that the 'nduja has fully dissolved, add the tomato passata and mix well. Let the mixture cook for about 15 minutes on low heat.
- In the meantime, bring to boil a pot filled with water. Once it starts to boil, season with plenty of salt. Add the pasta and cook as instructed on the package or until al dente.
- As soon as the pasta is ready, add it to the sauce and mix well until all the pasta is covered with the sauce. Add salt and pepper as required.
- Serve immediately and top it with the fresh burrata cheese.
