Broken Pasta with Mushroom, Onion, and Crispy SPAM
Crispy pan-seared SPAM mingles with caramelized onions, mushrooms, and a healthy dose of cheese in this broken pasta dish made with bucatini.
Break each piece of bucatini into 4 pieces.
Toast luncheon meat with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add crushed peppercorns and cook until meat is crispy about 5 minutes.
Set aside.
Heat remaining oil in another pan over medium-low heat.
Cook onion covered until soft 5 to 7 minutes.
Add sugar; cook stirring every 2 to 3 minutes until onion is very soft and browned 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil.
Cook bucatini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite about 5 minutes.
Drain.
