Pasta/Pizza - Rottini with ham, tomatoes, and olives by Cipriana D. - Recipia

Pasta is a versatile ingredient, perfect for a variety of dishes. We start by boiling the pasta according to the instructions on the package, making sure it becomes al dente, meaning cooked but with a firm texture when bitten. Meanwhile, we prepare the ingredients to create a delicious sauce that will transform the pasta into a culinary feast. We take fresh tomatoes and chop them into small cubes, being careful to remove the seeds to avoid excess water in the dish. The ham, chosen based on preferences, can be either smoked or plain, and is also cut into cubes to integrate perfectly into the mix of flavors. Olives, whether green or black, add a salty and slightly spicy taste, so we chop them into small pieces as well. Once the pasta is cooked, we carefully drain it and let it cool slightly. In a large pan, we add a little olive oil and heat it over medium heat. When the oil starts to lightly smoke, we add the cubes of ham and sauté them for a few minutes until they become slightly crispy. Then, we add the chopped olives and tomatoes, mixing well to combine the flavors. For an extra flavor boost, we add a teaspoon of sweet paprika, which will provide a splash of color, and dried oregano, which will enhance the dish's aroma. We sprinkle a little salt, being careful not to overdo it, as the ham and olives already have a salt content. After a few minutes, when the tomatoes start to soften, it is time to add the boiled pasta. We carefully mix everything so that the sauce is evenly distributed over each piece of pasta. For an even more intense taste, we can add 2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped, which will give an unmistakable aroma to the dish. We let everything fry together, stirring occasionally, until the pasta takes on a bronze hue, absorbing the delicious flavors from the pan. In the end, we serve the pasta hot, sprinkled with a little freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch of freshness. This recipe is not only easy to prepare but also offers an explosion of flavors that will delight the taste buds. Enjoy your meal!
