Pasta

Sauce

Method

Prepare the Pasta

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Reserve Pasta Water

    Before draining the spaghetti, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

Prepare the Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the nduja, eggs, grated pecorino cheese, grated Grana Padano cheese, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Combine and Serve

  1. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    In the same pot used for the spaghetti, add the drained pasta back in. Pour the nduja sauce over the pasta and quickly toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is coated with the sauce.

  2. 5

    Adjust Consistency

    If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired creamy consistency is reached.

  3. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and extra grated cheese if desired. Enjoy your Nduja Carbonara!
