Linguine with Creamy 'Nduja Tomato Sauce

Anna Chwistek
This 20-minute dinner hits all the flavor spots. It’s spicy, funky and delicious. Fiery ‘Nduja salami is the star in this smooth tomato sauce made with sun-dried tomatoes and a splash of cream. Serve with plenty of parmesan and a big fresh side salad.
