Step 2. Melt the butter over medium heat, When it is just starting to sizzle add the nduja and whisk into the butter, lower the heat if it’s spitting too much.
Step 3. Add the cream and whisk well to combine. Continuing to gently simmer the sauce.
Step 4. Add the lemon juice and sugar and stir to combine
Step 5. Then add the parmesan in a few lots, whisking well in between to make sure it has melted into the sauce. Add salt and pepper depending on your preferences
Step 5. Add your cooked pasta straight into the sauce and gently stir, Then add the parsley and stir. Let the pasta gently bubble away in the sauce for a minute or two to thicken up.
