The Italian classic Spaghetti alle Vongole in a new version: with an extra spicy salami from Calabria.
Its scent already tickles your nose: Nduja, the spicy spreadable salami from Calabria, is something for the adventurous. Their taste (if you dare, you will never forget it) harmonises perfectly with pasta and mussels; so this time we prepare a slightly different kind of surf and turf.
Nduja is kneaded into a mass from ground pork with salt and chili peppers. Then stuffed in pig intestines, lightly smoked and aged for a few months.
