Method

10 steps · 45 min

01
Cook Penne
Cook the penne in plenty of salted water until al dente, following package directions. Before draining, make sure to reserve 1½ cups of the starchy pasta water.
02
Drain and Toss Pasta
Drain the pasta, then toss it immediately with 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
03
Sauté Onion
While the pasta cooks, warm enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns soft and tender.
04
Add Garlic
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute or so, until it smells fragrant and aromatic. Be careful not to let it brown.
05
Sauté Spinach
Add the spinach to the pan. If the pan looks dry, add a little more olive oil. Sauté until the spinach is tender and any excess water has evaporated.
06
Warm Salami
Stir in the sliced salami and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, just until it's warmed through and releases some of its flavor into the pan.
07
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, the warm salami-spinach mixture, olives, ricotta salata, parmesan cheese, and the juice of 1 lemon. Pour in the reserved pasta water and toss everything together until the cheese starts to melt and coat the pasta.
08
Season Pasta
If the pasta seems a little dry, drizzle in a bit more olive oil. Taste and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
09
Garnish with Basil
Sprinkle fresh basil over the pasta.
10
Serve
Serve immediately, with an extra drizzle of olive oil and a final sprinkle of parmesan cheese, if you like.
