Instructions

1 In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and half of the butter over medium high.
Add the onions and cook until softened; about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and
rosemary and cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, stir and cook for
another minute. Stir in the 'Nduja and cook until darkened in color and well
combined; 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, stir, and lower the heat to medium low.
Simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes, until thickened. Season with kosher salt to
taste.
2 Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta to 1
minute less than package directions for al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta
water and drain.
3 Add the pasta to the sauce along with the rest of the butter and a splash of the
reserved pasta water. Let the pasta finish cooking in the sauce, adding more
pasta water as needed to loosen; 1-2 minutes
4 Serve with grated Pecorino Romano. Enjoy!
