A simple tomato sauce is spiced up with vegan 'Nduja, adding heat that pairs beautifully with the creamy filling of the ham pasta. Featuring a hot, umami blend of Calabrian chillies and peppers, this 'Nduja is completely meat-free but with all the same flavour.

Instructions

Caramelise the Onion
1

a) Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion.

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.

c) Once hot, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 mins.

d) Add the sugar for the onions (see pantry for amount) and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more.

Finish the Prep
2

a) Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.

b) In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic glaze and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount).

c) Stir in the tomato chunks, season with salt and pepper, then set aside for now.

Add the Flavour
3

b) Once caramelised, stir the vegan 'Nduja (see ingredients for amount, add less if you'd prefer things milder) into the onion and cook for 1 min more.

Boil the Pasta
4
