10 ounces spaghetti, broken in small pieces
1/2 cup pecorino cheese, chopped

Steps:

Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a deep saucepan. Add prosciutto or salami and cook until crisp.
To make the 'soffritto', add vegetables, salt, black pepper and chili pepper. Saute until the onion becomes soft, then add potatoes. Stir to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
Add water and tomato puree. Add spaghetti to the pot. Mix together well and add pecorino cheese.
Add water, a little at a time periodically and cook for a few minutes until the soup is creamy and thickened.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with parmigiano cheese. Allow to cool and thicken, Serve at room temperature.
