Pepperoni in a Neopolitan Sauce

A simple pepperoni dish served with wheat-free spaghetti.

The ingredients are sliced and diced pepperoni sausage (about 150 g), sliced onion, garlic, hot finger chillies, half a green pepper, sliced, spelt grains, half a carton of tomato passata, diced fresh basil, diced fresh spinach leaves, and some onion gravy granules.

Fry the onions until golden brown, then add the diced pepperoni sausage and the green pepper, and cook for five minutes at a medium heat.

Add boiling water and the tomato passata, and stir together. Add the basil and the spinach, and stir through the sauce. Add the garlic and the finger chillies (remove the stems). Add half a handful of spelt grain, and finally two teaspoonfuls of onion gravy granules. Stir thoroughly until the gravy granules have dissolved.

Simmer under glass at a low heat for about twenty minutes until the sauce is reduced to the required consistency. Serve with spaghetti and freshly ground black pepper.
