Spaghetti with Salami and Bacon INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 pound hard salami, diced
  • 2 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 leek, thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Spaghetti with Salami and Bacon DIRECTIONS:

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place salami and bacon in the skillet; cook until just starting to crisp. Stir in garlic and leek; season with salt and pepper, and cook 2 minutes more. Stir in tomatoes and 1 tablespoon basil; cook 1 minute more.
  3. Mix the cooked pasta into the contents of the skillet, along with 3 tablespoons Parmesan. Serve topped with remaining Parmesan and basil.
