Many years ago I used to make this for Farmer Chris...but it never seemed right because we didn't want to use store bought salami that includes nitrates. Farmer Chris did research to find a processor that could make salami without chemicals...and finally we are offering Salami (beef/pork) that has no additives, so last night I had this ready for him to eat after a long day of getting 50 sheep sheared! (a post to come)
Pesto Salami Tortellini
- 1 9 -ounce package refrigerated cheese filled tortellini
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1/2 cup pesto sauce
- 3 ounces salami (chopped) - I usually use a little more
- Thin tomato slices (optional)
Directions:
Cook tortellini according to package directions. Place chopped tomato in a large colander; drain pasta over tomato. Return mixture to a hot pan. Place in a medium mixing bowl. Add pesto and salmi; toss gently till pasta is coated with pesto. Serve warm on individual plates lined with a few pieces of thinly sliced tomato or in a bowl for a buffet. This fed Chris and I :)
Needless to say there is no left overs, but we had a happy sleepy farmer snoring on the couch immediately following.
Much love...
