Method

  • 1.
    Remove the skin from the salami and cut into 1/2cm slices, then cut into thin strips. Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan, add the salami and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until crisp. Add the sage, chilli and garlic and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • 2.
    Beat together the egg yolks, parmesan and cream in a bowl. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
  • 3.
    Cook the pasta in a saucepan of boiling salted water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain. Return the salami to medium-low heat, add the wine and simmer for 1 minute. Stir the salami mixture into the pasta.
  • 4.
    Quickly add the egg mixture and parsley, and toss, allowing the hot pasta to cook the egg mixture.
  • 5.
    Serve sprinkled with the extra parmesan.
