Recipe: Mediterranean Tagliolini with Vegan Nduja and Vegetables

Ingredients:

• 250g Tenuta Tagliolini

• 2 tbsp olive oil (use some from the Tenuta Marmorelle Sundried Tomatoes jar)

• 3 tbsp Belazu Vegan Nduja

• 1 jar Odysea Flame Roasted Red Peppers, sliced

• 100g Tenuta Marmorelle Sundried Tomatoes, chopped

• 2 tsp Mutti Tomato Concentrate

• 100g Tenuta Black Olives with Herbs, halved

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 small red onion, finely diced

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

• Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the Tenuta Tagliolini according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, sautéing until softened. Stir in the Belazu Vegan Nduja and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to release its flavours.

3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the Odysea Flame Roasted Red Peppers, Tenuta Marmorelle Sundried Tomatoes, and Mutti Tomato Concentrate. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, adding a splash of pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick.

4. Finish the Dish: Toss the cooked tagliolini into the skillet, ensuring it’s well coated with the sauce. Add the Tenuta Black Olives with Herbs and sprinkle with oregano. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

5. Serve: Divide the pasta among plates, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately.
