Pasta con Cipolla di Tropea e Nduja
Franci's is Tropea onion and nduja. It's spicy, it felt like my taste buds were being shaved down bite after bite. I'm unable to have a conversation. Is it spicy? Not mine, it has anchovies, sun dried tomatoes, olives, cheese, it's very pleasant. Let's taste Franci's with the 'nduja — yours is a bit spicy huh but it's a kind of spice... I have to tell you Calabrian friends up to now we've been here five days, six days? There's still nothing that has knocked me out in terms of spiciness everything is super manageable.
