spicy Cream Sauce Creamy Pasta Nduja

🧂 Ingredients

1 Cook the pasta as per packaging in salty water. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of pasta
water, and place pasta on the side.
2 In a pan over low heat, add 2 tbsp butter. Once melted, grate the garlic cloves
and cook for 1 minute.
3 Add the nduja, breaking it up with the back of a spoon. Cook the nduja until it
has all but "melted" 2-3 minutes (there will still be little chunks), this will
take longer if the nduja just came out of the fridge.
4 Deglaze the pan with the wine and simmer for 3-4 minutes. The wine will have
reduced by half.
5 Add 1 cup of pasta water and simmer for 3-4 minutes on medium heat. The pasta
water should thicken a bit and reduce by a little less than half.
6 Add the heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes, mixing vigorously to incorporate
the fat into the sauce. Don't be alarmed if the fat doesn't incorporate at
first. If the sauce over reduces add more pasta water.
7 Turn off the heat and add the Parmesan cheese, and mix to combine. Add the pasta
and another tbsp of butter, toss to coat and serve.
