This is a quick and easy mid-week supper that is a great way to use up some leftover lunch box meat. It doesn’t matter what type of salami it is, it just gives the sauce that lovely rich flavour. The sauce needs to cook for a good 20 minutes to reduce the tomatoes right down. If it starts to get dry just add a little more water. Don’t season this until the end, because it depends how salty your salami is as to how much extra salt you will need to add. Top with parmesan too for extra decadence, although it eats perfectly well without.
