Pasta alla Norcina

Let me introduce you to pasta alla norcina, the famous dish from Norcia in the Umbria region. Norcia is known for its production of pork products like sausage and salumi; hence, this decadent dish features sausage in a creamy white sauce. The dish dates as far back as the Middle Ages, and is traditionally made with sheep’s ricotta. My version combines heavy cream and Pecorino Romano to bring the sauce together. The earthiness from the sausage and truffles paired with the richness from the cream make this pasta dish one to remember.
