Nduja Makes Nice plus The Pleasure of Pasta

January 10, 2022 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Nduja — looks like a typo, tastes like a wow.  Nduja is a luscious Italian pate of Calabrian chili, fennel, garlic, and, alas, pork. But not here.  My vegan nduja recipe, inspired by a version at Giorgio Rapicavoli’s Luca  hits all the right flavor notes.  It has the same gutsy spices, but no pig.  Fresh and sundried tomatoes and smoked paprika add the umami, and olive oil provides a little richness in the mouth. Slather it on bruschetta or flatbread, dredge vegetables through it or enjoy it as the boldest, easiest no-cook pasta sauce ever.
