Follow The Directions

01

Step

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the mostaccioli pasta and cook for 6 minutes. (6 mins)

02

Step

Add the frozen peas to the pasta pot and continue cooking for another 4 to 6 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water before draining the pasta and peas thoroughly. (4-6 mins)

03

Step

While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced green onions and minced garlic. Season with sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the green onions are softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. (3-5 mins)

04

Step

Stir in the thinly sliced salami and cook until heated through and slightly crisped, about 2-3 minutes. (2-3 mins)

05

Step

Transfer the cooked pasta and peas to the skillet with the salami mixture. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and gently toss to combine, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.

06

Step

Serve immediately, garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet after cooking the green onions and garlic. Let it reduce slightly before adding the salami.
If you don't have mostaccioli pasta, penne or rigatoni are excellent substitutes.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for its superior flavor and texture. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your taste. For a milder dish, reduce the amount or omit it altogether.

    This was so easy to make, and my family loved it! I added a little extra garlic because we're garlic fiends.
