My husband
tells me “You can make this anytime”, because “it has everything we like in
it”. It also has everything I usually
have on hand in it too! I loosely
adapted this from a Taste of Home recipe; if you have it or can find it, substitute
tapenade or ripe olive bruschetta topping for the black olives. This is an easy dish that you don’t have to
bake.
Muffuletta Pasta
12
ounces bow tie pasta
1/3
cup onion, diced
1 1/2
teaspoons butter
2
teaspoons minced garlic
12
ounces cubed fully cooked ham
6
ounces ripe olives – chopped and
drained
2 1/2
ounces sliced pepperoni
3/4
cup heavy whipping cream
2
tablespoons butter
6
ounces shredded Italian cheese
blend – 1 1/2 cups
Cook pasta
according to package directions.
Meanwhile,
in a large skillet (I use my wok), sauté onions in 2 teaspoons butter until
tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add the ham and pepperoni; sauté 2
minutes longer.
Cube
remaining butter; stir butter and cream into skillet. Bring to a boil over
medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes.
Drain pasta;
toss with ham mixture and olives. Sprinkle with cheese.
Yield: 4-6
Looks delicious. I love pasta salads and this looks really very easy to make. Can't go wrong with pepperoni in it
ReplyDeleteI need to try this. I love muffuletta sandwiches
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight, big hit. Only had to use hard salami instead of pepperoni. Everyone gets heartburn from pepperoni. Other then that followed the recipe.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever use kitchen klatter recipes? I have my mother in laws cookbook. Thanks Sandy
I've checked out a Kitchen Klatter cookbook from our local library...they are hard to find and expensive used. You're very lucky to have one.
