I loved this recipe! I used pecorino romano instead of parmesan, which was delicious!

Easy, definately! Unfortunately, it was unbelievably greasy. The salami & grease overpowered the entire dish. You could not taste the cheese at all-I even tried to add an extra 1/2c of an Italian blend cheese & still couldn't taste it. We all liked the addition of the peas. I'm really glad I tried it but probably won't make again:(

This is a great quick dish. Because some others said it was a bit greasy, we cut down on the oil/butter - for two people we only used about 2 TBL oil and no butter. We also cooked the salami ahead of time, which made it crispy, which was a nice touch. We only cooked the peas for the last 3 minutes with the pasta, otherwise I think they would have been overcooked. This is a great tasting dish that is easy and I think it would be easy to add/sub different veggies depending on what you have on hand. I think next time I will add corn.

I love this! I changed nothing about it, and I thought it was perfect. Much spicier than I expected.. which is a good thing! Yes, it is very greasy, but sometimes you're just in the mood for that. In fact (and you all might get on me for saying this), due to how greasy this dish is, I might think it's the perfect hangover food! Either way, though, I thought this was delicious and will 100% make it again.

We thought this was really good! I didn't make any drastic changes, but I did change it up slightly. First off, I used mini farfalle pasta. I chopped the salami into small pieces because I was feeding a toddler and for more even distribution. I melted the butter in a pan and added the salami, vidalia onion (I had no green onions) and the garlic and cooked that until the onion was tender. I used steamfrsh peas, so I nuked them and added them to the salami/onion mixture and heated through. I added the cooked pasta a nice splash of extra virgin olive oil, a little salt, pepper, a dash of cayenne (again, I was feeding a toddler), and about 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. At the table we added extra parm. I will be making this again, and I may sub bacon for the salami next time, just to see how it turns out! Thanks for posting. :)

Good, but very greasy - for that I give it 3 stars.

Tasty, easy. A good way to use up salami. I think my salami was the soft kind, not the hard, but it came out fine. I can see where some people might find it greasy--I think you could cut back a bit on the oil without problem. Perhaps also next time I will try heavily salting the pasta when I cook it, so I don't end up putting extra salt on top of the already salty salami. Update: Made this again, and I took another reviewer's advice and fried the salami, then used the salami grease to fry onion, etc. Came out a lot less greasy. I didn't add any oil or butter, and it was fine, although if you wish, you could add a bit at the end.

This was very tasty. I left the 1/4 oil out and cooked all in a non-stick frypan. I made a wee red wine sauce to go over it instead of oil. All yum flavours.
