'Nduja Pasta

Method

1. Put a large pot of water on to boil and salt it generously. Meanwhile, heat the oil and whole garlic clove in a large frying pan.
2. When the garlic starts to sizzle, add the tomatoes. Crush them with a fork, add the MSG, salt to taste and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Keep it simmering while the pasta cooks, adding a little pasta water if it thickens too much.
3. When the water is at a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook until al dente.
4. About 2 minutes before the pasta is done, remove and discard the garlic and stir the 'nduja into the sauce so it melts into the tomatoes.
5. Lift the pasta into the sauce with tongs or a spaghetti fork and stir over medium-high heat until evenly coated.
6. Serve immediately, topped with grated pecorino.
