oven-baked rigatoni with wild boar salami

oven-baked rigatoni with wild boar salami

main courses | serves 4
This is a great dish for when you've got mates coming round as it's easy to make and looks fantastic. The wild boar salami tastes great, and as well as cooking with it you can use it in sandwiches.

Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, and fry half the salami until quite crisp. Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly until the onion is soft. Add the balsamic vinegar, chopped tomatoes, crème fraîche and basil. Mix together, season to taste, and simmer for a few minutes.

Cook the rigatoni according to the packet instructions until 'al dente'. Drain, and drizzle over a little olive oil and seasoning. Tip into a baking dish and pour over the sauce.

Lay the mozzarella over the top with the rest of the salami. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until golden. Delicious.

2. Carolyn Wed 19 Aug 2009 @ 04:05 I was very disappointed with this dish - it was like a blob of pasta on a plate. It was very dry & needed more sauce. I added more cream & mozzarella (from the packet!) to give it a better texture. Will definitely not be making it again - it was awful.

3. a.d.i Mon 06 Jul 2009 @ 12:50 nice one! my family here in Romania love it. it is hard to find the wild boar salami.

4. Timothy Thu 22 Jan 2009 @ 19:23 Hello,

awesome dish, turned out really well.
unfortuenatly my local supermarket didn't have the
Napoli Salami, so i decided to take Chorizo instead for some
extra spice, and it was a great succes!!

Cheers.
