I'm trying to find uses for the pepperoni I'm storing, so I adapted a recipe for spaghetti with salami from the internet. Only I used penne with pepperoni.

It's a keeper. I cut the proportions in half, to start with, then doubled the pepper flakes and Parmesan. Minor changes to the technique. Halfway through, I realized that it's related to Cacio e Pepe, a thing I enjoy in restaurants and have never yet made successfully. But this time it worked.

Cheap, fast, easy and good.
