Tagliatelle with Kavourma, Leeks and Tomato
Kavourmas is a Greek cured pork, heavily spiced and particular in taste. The tomatoes and fresh parsley in this pasta dish really balance the heavy taste of the cured meat with their freshness. If you cannot find kavourmas, substitute with another cured meat, Italian prosciutto, spanish lomo or even a local spiced suasage.
