Ingredients
Method
1. Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan, then add the salami. Cook gently for 4-5 mins, then add the garlic. Continue to cook for 2-3 mins, until the garlic is softened but not coloured. Stir in chilli flakes or fennel seeds, if desired. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for a further 2-3 mins. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add the chopped tomatoes and 200ml water. Bring to a gentle simmer.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil. Season with 2 tbsp salt and cook the linguine for 10-12 mins. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it (reserve some of the cooking water to loosen the sauce, if it’s too thick) and then tumble into the sauce. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and freshly ground black pepper. Serve topped with basil leaves and grated parmesan.
