This recipe came about when we were contemplating what to do with the remainder of a cured pepperoni log and our favorite pepper sauce. What resulted was an elegant, rich and decadent dish that surprised and delighted.
Enjoy. —Flavorfirst

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Add the pasta and cook to al dente, according to package directions
  2. Warm a large sauce pan with medium high heat and add butter/olive oil. Then add minced onion and pepperoni. Cook down while stirring until onions are translucent, about4-5 minutes.
