Creamy Garlic Pasta with Crispy Salami is a delicious and easy pasta dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. I used fresh pasta for this recipe, you can of course also used dry. The pasta is cooked al dente and then tossed in a creamy sauce made with garlic, chicken stock, cream, and Parmesan cheese.
The dish is then topped with pops of crispy salami for a flavourful and satisfying dish.
For the pasta, boil salted water and cook the pasta less than al dente (if dried). Reserve one cup of pasta water. Add and cook pasta a little less than al dente when ready.
In a dry frying pan over medium heat add the small cubed salami. Set salami aside, keep oils in the pan. Add the garlic and chili, oregano, stir until fragrant, approx. one minute. Pour in 2 cups chicken stock. Season with salt & pepper. Bring to the boil and reduce by three quarters.
Add cream, reduce until a little thicker, then add the slightly undercooked drained pasta, continue cooking for 1 minute. Turn heat to very low, add the Parmesan and parsley (keeping some for garnish), mix until thoroughly combined. Serve immediately topped with warm crispy salami and chopped parsley.
Use a good quality salami for the best flavour.
If you don't have chicken stock, you can use vegetable stock or water.
Add more or less Parmesan cheese to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for extra flavour.
