Salami & Garlic Mushroom Linguine - pasta recipe for quick indulgence & Savoury

People always perceive Salami only as a cold appetizer, paired with celery, cucumber, and cheese, which indeed makes a nice pre-meal snack. However, with some creativity, Salami can also become the star of a main dish.

The salty and spicy flavor of Salami pairs excellently with starches, and its most familiar pairing is probably on a pizza. This time, I enjoyed it with linguine, where its spiciness and saltiness directly enhances the pasta, bringing an extraordinary surprise to a simple dish. Combined with garlic and white wine, this dish is exceptional!

1. Brunoise the shallot and the garlic; wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp kitchen towel, then slice them; cut the salami into thick strips.

2. Boil a pot of water, add a little olive oil, and put in the linguine. Cook for 5 minutes.

3. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil, and sweat the garlic and shallots until fragrant. Then add the sliced mushrooms, stir-fry for about 30 seconds.

4.　Add the cooked linguine into the skillet and toss everything together for a few seconds.

5. Add white wine .

6. Add butter, black pepper, and salt (remember to add salt before adding the salami as salami is salty itself to avoid making it too salty). Then, turn the heat to high and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and then turn off the heat.

7. After turning off the heat, add the salami, mix well, and it's ready to serve.

8. I reserved a whole piece of salami, arranged it on top of the pasta after plating. Enjoy while it's hot!
