About the recipe

This is a classic Umbrian winter pasta dish that can be served with shaved black truffle like they do at Bestia in LA (for $55 a plate). I found it's easier and more affordable to add a couple tablespoons of truffle sauce mixture to the pork sausage blend. This is one of the best pasta dishes I've made in a while and it's pretty darn easy. Get on it. We have all the ingredients for this one at Etto.

Preparation

  1. Mix all the sausage ingredients with the ground pork well and refrigerate for 1/2 hour up to a day.
  2. In a large pot, bring 1 gallon of water to a boil with 2 tablespoons of kosher salt.
  3. Meanwhile, put olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat . Add onions, after 5 minutes add the pork and once cooked through add the cream and milk.
  4. Cook pasta until just under al dente following the instructions on the box. Drain pasta, reserving starchy pasta water
  5. Add sedani and toss to coat pasta. Turn heat to low and toss vigorously to create a creamy cohesive sauce. Add more pasta water ¼ cup at a time if needed to loosen the sauce. The more you mix this pasta the better it becomes so have at it.
