This pasta dish is easily made in the amount of time it takes to boil your water. So charge ahead, my friends. And good luck.

    What a great dish. Now I just have to figure out what nduja is, where I can find it, or what I can substitute.

    Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights.
     
    Hmm… I’m not sure what you could substitute, but if there are Italian/Calabrese shops near you they may sell it. Boh.
