    I would add the nduja at the end with the mozzarella. Anyway no reason to be so easily offended by the opinion of the Italians, you're not the one who sees everyday your culinary tradition s destroyed.

    Thank you a lot Donal for letting people know pasta with nduja souce. Personally I cook it in another way, this is the "grandmother taught me" version:
    1) Boil water in a pot. You will put pasta in it later, once the water is boiling.
    2) In a separate pan put olive oil and a finely chopped onion and , if you want, carrot and celery. This is called soffritto.
    3) Let soffritto go with minimum of flame for 5/10 minutes, always being careful that onion doesn't burn, keep mixing with a wooden spoon. When onion becames translucent, add tomato souce and adjust with salt and black pepper. If the souce is too acid, you can adjust with a little bit of sugar too, personally I never do this. Now set the flame at medium but always be careful that the souce dosen t attack to the fund of the pan.
    4)Now the water in the pot must be boiling, so you can put a handful of salt and pasta in. Be careful when put salt : if the flame is at maximum the water could spill out, so set the flame at minimum, put salt and set it maximum again. Then add pasta and cook for 10 minutes.
    5) Use another spoon or a glass to pour a little bit of the boiling water in the souce. This make the souce cook slowly without to attack to the fund of the pan. Now put nduja in the pan and mix with the spoon in order to make it melt in the souce . Nduja can be eaten even without cooking it, it is already ready to eat meat and pepper. It gives taste and spicy to the souce. Watch the souce and mix with the wooden spoon to make the nduja completely melt in the souce.
    6) If you think the pasta is cooked and salty drain it with a colander. If it needs more salt, put salt. Put the drained pasta in the pan with the souce, set the flame at minimum and keep mixing for 1/2 minutes. If you want can add chopped mozzarella or smoked scamorza now. 30 seconds will be enough to make it melt.
    7) Serve with basil and cheese on top of it (parmigiano or pecorino cheese, it depends on what you like).
    8) Enjoy 🙂
