Do you think it would work with bacon or ham?  I'm not too keen on salami.  Love the hidden zucchini in this!

[brazen20au]

bacon maybe or somehting like proscuitto or pancetta yes. i think ham is too bland tasting for the dish, it would be boring

[Caroline J]

Mmmm, pancetta or proscuitto would be yummy!  I think I will add more capsicum next time too.  In saying that, it was perfect just the way it was.  Looking forward to the leftovers later!

I quite enjoyed this one back a bit and I have made a note on it 'Try chicken and broccoli in lieu of salami' - don't know if that was my idea or whether I read it on the forum (I usually write the name of the person who suggested it but there is no name so I wonder if I did think of it all by myself )

[cathy79]

That would be nice.  I have a recipe called "anything goes pasta", the name speaks for itself.  Whatever I have, I put in!

Thanks for the review Caroline J.

I have made this using Chorizo and it's yummo. I have also thought about using good quality Italian sausages.

[Thermomixer]

Chorizo sounds good

Making this tonight, hope a vegetarian version will be ok

Caroline as you know this was one of the first things I made with my new Thermomix. We loved it. This is my review etc:

I used half prosciutto and half Hungarian salami. I think next time I'll use more meat. I don't think 100g is enough.

I also used Lite Sour Cream.

Perhaps if it works I will try using less oil next time.

The herbs I used were a large handful of flat leaf parsely, large handful of oregano and another of baby basil. (Basically I just raided our vege garden)

I found it had slightly more liquid thatn I'd like so I think I'll cut that back next time and I also doubled the amount of onion and garlic as this suited our tastes more.

[Babymaker]

I also doubled the garlic I think I used too much Oil, I will try sautéing the veg in some water and maybe the stock concentrate.

I make this often, but we don't eat Salami so I use mushrooms.  It's delicious!  I use more garlic than the recipe states, and wholemeal fettuccine so it does need 10 mins in the Thermoserver to absorb the sauce a bit or the pasta is too al dente for my kids' liking.  This one's a winner - very versatile and yummy every time.  I have a friend (hello Chelle if you're dropping in) who does 101 versions of this - even without tomato, salami or fettuccine!  LOL  It's one of her staples.  I serve with lots of steamed vegies and it feeds a nice portion to 8 of us.
