Spicy Salami Pasta

This delicious salami pasta recipe was shared with us by Ele Trois, the restauranter behind Melbourne’s Sassy Italian Restaurant. It’s called Ele’s Spicy Salami Penne and it is a customer favorite at this top-rated Italian restaurant in Melbourne, Australia.

Ele’s homemade spicy salami is made the traditional Italian way with all natural products and cured over 6 week period. Check this article for more information about Italian cured meats. We also use homemade Carolina reaper chili oil to enhance the flavors that combine with olives, capsicum (red peppers) and homemade Napoli (Marinara) sauce. 

Perfectly cooked penne pasta is tossed in a flavorful sauce, creating a satisfying and comforting meal that will transport your taste buds straight to Italy.

This dish was created by Ele’s grandfather and passed down to Ele while working as a chef. Ele has combined a modern twist while conserving the true Italian taste.

Enjoy!
