Mafaldine with Roasted Orange Pepper & Shoreditch Smoked
There is something quietly luxurious about a warm pasta salad done properly. Good pasta, properly dressed, with something worth finding in every forkful.
David built this one around roasted orange pepper, jammy and sweet from the oven, and mafaldine, those long wavy-edged ribbons that catch oil and flavour in exactly the right places. Our La Fauxmagerie Shoreditch Smoked is the anchor: tucked through the warm pasta, it's slow applewood warmth playing beautifully against the sweetness of the pepper. Crispy onions, torn mint, a little extra olive oil. Simple, considered, and exactly what you want when the temperature is up - but you're still looking for some comfort.
