Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

No one wine will suit every pasta dish. Pasta in a tomato-based sauce will usually work well with a medium-bodied red, such as a montepulciano or chianti. Pasta with seafood or pesto will fare better with a light-bodied white, such as a pinot grigio. Cheese-heavy pasta can pair well with red or white - you might try a sangiovese wine for hard cheeses and a chardonnay for soft cheeses. We may be able to make a better recommendation if you ask again with a specific pasta dish.

Instructions

Cook Penne in plenty of salted water according to package directions to al dente. You will need to reserve 1 and 1/2 cups of the water before draining. Drain and toss with butter and 2 tablespoons of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil. While the pasta is cooking saute the onion in enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan until soft and tender. Add garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the frozen spinach and more oil if needed, saute until tender. Add the salami and saute for 2 to 3 minutes until warm. In a large mixing bowl toss the pasta, salami mixture, olives, cheeses, lemon juice and reserved pasta water together. Add more Olive Oil if needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with basil. Serve with a drizzle of Olive oil and Parmesan.
