Pasta alla Norcina

Pasta alla Norcina is a traditional pasta dish hailing from the Umbrian town of Norcia. The dish is made with short pasta such as penne or rigatoni, crumbled Norcia sausage, onions, white wine, cream, and a generous amount of grated pecorino.


There are some versions that also use black truffles, long pasta such as spaghetti or tagliatelle, and occasionally wild mushrooms. Norcia is famous for its truffles and pork products, so it's no wonder they make use of those ingredients in their specialty dishes.


It's recommended to serve it with a fresh green salad on the side.
