Spaghetti Calabrese & Garlic Bread

Method

• Preheat the oven to it’s highest setting with a pizza stone or upturned tray
• Get a big pan of boiling water on and add a big pinch of salt
• In a separate pan, add the olive oil, garlic and onions on a medium heat to help the onions soften a little
• Once the garlic and onions soften slightly, crumble up the n’duja and mix it through, it will melt down slowly turning a bright red colour
• Add the spinach to the n’duja mix and turn down the temperature to a slow simmer
• Meanwhile, add the spaghetti/linguine to your boiling water
• Mix together all the ingredients for your garlic bread and spread evenly all over the tortilla
• Pop this into onto your pizza stone/upturned tray for approximately 3 minutes
• Once your spaghetti/linguine is cooked to your desired consistency, drain, reserving half a cup of the cooking water and add it to the n’duja mix, if required, add the pasta cooking water to loosen up a little.
• Serve with grated Parmesan and the crispy garlic bread

This Spaghetti Calabrese & Garlic Bread is a no-brainer. By swapping traditional meats like pancetta and bacon with spicy n’duja, you’re modernizing a flavoursome Italian dish with lashings of flavour. Don’t forget the homemade garlic bread and Parmasan of course!
