I ordered this at a local Italian restaurant and it turned out to be a fascinating combination. First: This has nothing to do with Pesto Calabrese, it’s more like a Salami-heavy Arrabiata. The main feature was strips of Salami Piccante, about 1cm wide and 1mm-2mm thick. I only got it thinly sliced until now, but it was delicious to have those chunks in the pasta. The star of the show was the Nduja / Tomato mixture. Very oily and with a nice heat, some smaller onion chunks gave it a good bite. The cherry tomatoes on top were mostly for decoration but also gave it some very welcome freshness. I will try that at home!
