Directions
Pasta alla Norcina is a typical dish of Italian Umbrian cuisine prepared with Norcia sausage crumbled in a pan with oil and onion, fresh cream, truffle and pecorino cheese. It is usually prepared with short pasta: penne, rigatoni, pici, strangozzi, but there is also a version with long pasta, spaghetti or tagliatelle, which is made only with black truffles, garlic and anchovies, to which you can add mushrooms . We will prepare the first version with sausage and cream, creamy and rich in taste. If you do not find Norcia sausages you can use the classic pork sausage, but the final flavor will be less aromatic: the appellation “alla norcina” derives from the use of the sausages of the master butchers (norcini). Here’s how to prepare this ideal first course for Sunday lunch that will conquer everyone.
