Description:
Salami Noodles alla Mama is a cherished childhood favorite that my mother often whipped up on busy weeknights. This hearty dish shines best with salami varieties like Genoa or Milano, packed with peppercorns for a flavorful punch. Avoiding too much fat, sopressata might not be the ideal choice here. And strangely enough, the magic happens when paired with egg noodles, lending just the right texture and taste.

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sliced salami (Genoa or Milano recommended)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients:
- Start by dicing the onion and green bell pepper. Slice the salami into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
-
Cook Salami and Vegetables:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and sliced salami. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the salami begins to brown slightly.
-
Add Noodles:
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the egg noodles to the skillet with the cooked salami and vegetables. Pan-fry them together until the noodles turn a golden color, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
-
Simmer with Broth:
- Season with salt to taste. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring it covers the noodles and ingredients in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the noodles are cooked al dente and most of the broth is absorbed.
-
Serve Warm:
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Serve the Salami Noodles alla Mama hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy this comforting one-dish meal that brings back the nostalgic flavors of home.
This recipe is not only quick and easy but also budget-friendly, making it perfect for a satisfying family dinner any night of the week.
