17/11/2023

Here is a simple and tasty recipe for preparing tagliatelle with spring onions and sausage.

Ingredients

  • 320 g of fresh or dry tagliatelle
  • 4 spring onions, cleaned and thinly sliced
  • 400 g of pork sausage, preferably fresh
  • 100 ml of white wine
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated cheese (pecorino or parmesan), to serve
  • (Optional) Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Preparation

  1. If you are using sausage in casing, remove the skin and crumble the meat.
  2. In a large pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil and add the chopped spring onions. Sauté over medium heat until they become translucent.
  3. Add the crumbled sausage to the pan with the spring onions and cook over high heat, stirring frequently to brown the meat evenly.
  4. Deglaze with white wine and let it cook until the wine has evaporated. Lower the heat and continue cooking for about 10 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste.
  5. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions, being careful to keep them al dente.
  6. Drain the tagliatelle and pour them directly into the pan with the sauce of spring onions and sausage. Mix well over medium heat for a few minutes so that the pasta absorbs the flavor of the dressing.
  7. Serve the hot tagliatelle with a sprinkle of grated cheese and, if you like, some chopped parsley leaves for a touch of freshness.

Curiosity

Tagliatelle is a type of pasta typical of Northern Italy, especially from the Emilia-Romagna region. They are known for their ability to hold sauces well thanks to their surface area and porosity. Pairing tagliatelle with a rustic sauce like that of sausage and spring onions results in a dish rich in strong and genuine flavors, typical of Italian home cooking.
