    Simple and delicious. Pantry pasta when you have Nduja on hand. Served with burrata this time because we had it in the fridge. Would like to serve next time with big leafy green salad + simple vinaigrette

    My ‘Nduja was very spicy so this was in fact a fiery dish, but also rich and delicious. A green salad with a tart vinaigrette would be a perfect accompaniment. I followed the recipe and loved the way the sauce came together, and the ridges on the pennette regatta was perfect for capturing the sauce. My son — who generally likes pasta fairly plain — loved this. He has already asked me to make it again.

    Very delicious but also very rich! After enjoying a couple of bites, I cut up and steamed some broccolini and tossed that in to temper the richness.

    Very delicious and very rich. I'm not sure I'd made this again but we enjoyed it.

    This was one of the easiest pasta sauces I have made- and it's SO delicious. I made 1.5 x the recipe for four people and it was plenty. It was not too spicy for my teens (they like spice but I mention this because the headnote describes the pasta as "fiery" and it is not).

    Excellent dish. I used Sobrasada de Mallorca Picante and it worked well. As with all the two person recipes in this book, the servings are generous.
