Ingredients

  • 1  bunch tomato on vine
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 8 oz pepperoni, diced small
  • 4 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • kosher salt for seasoning
  • Pecorino Romano for serving
  • 16 oz. Fresh tagliatelle

Instructions

  • Preheat grill until temperature gauge reaches 450℉. Toss tomato in 1 tablespoon olive oil. You can leave the tomatoes on the vine or you can remove them.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a medium saute pan over the grill or on a stovetop burner over medium high heat. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Once hot add pepperoni and cook until lightly golden and crisp, 10 minutes.
  • Add butter and garlic and continue to cook stirring often until softened and lightly golden, 5 minutes.
  • Add cream to sauce and stir until incorporated.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. I recommend doing this on the stovetop. Toss pasta in sauce. Serve with pecorino.
