Tomato salami pasta with large ball of burrata in rectangle serving dish
Jump to Recipe

This tomato and salami pasta appeared in last month's Delicious magazine.   As I write this post, it's not featuring on the website.   It was the ball of mozzarella that initially caught my eye, and then on reading the recipe I decided it was definitely one to try.

I made the sauce in the morning so that it was ready in advance for our dinner in the evening...and we enjoyed leftovers for lunch the next day!

The tomato sauce is lovely and rich, and is complimented with the pieces of salami and hints of freshness from the parsley, lemon and mozzarella.

We're definitely going to be enjoying this one again and again!

Tips

  • You can batch cook the tomato sauce, portion it out and freeze it for up to 3 months.   Or make the sauce 2 to 3 days ahead – cool, cover and keep in the fridge until needed.   Continue from step 3, gently warming the sauce.
  • Make it vegetarian – leave out the salami and add a few capers at the end for a salty umami hit.
  • This tomato and salami pasta recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
