Pimp my tomato sauce II

Another pimped tomato sauce. More than a week without a post: it had to happen sooner or later. The thing is, last week-end I traded the cooking frenzy with a relaxing spa break in Donegal, and this has been St Patrick’s week, and the next is quarter end, which usually means doing a lot of hours of overtime and having a more intense relationship with SAP than with my oven.

Anyway, with very little time to cook, and in an effort to make a virtue out of necessity (fare di necessità virtù, we would say), the only possible outcome could be a second pasta sauce pimping, which means, taking a regular tomato sauce and adding some flavour.

The recipe is like the one for the basic pimp my sauce, but with some salami sausage. I used the German one coated in pepper they sell at Lidl.

Dice 4-5 slices of this salami, and add it to the leek at the beginning. The taste of this sauce is a bit stronger, you’ll love it.
