Pasta alla Norcina

This is creamy wthout being overly rich. I used M&S Italian sausages which were really tasty.

Ingredients

400g penne

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 400g Italian sausage, casings removed

• 1 small onion, finely diced

• 4 garlic cloves, crushed

• 1/4 cup white wine

• 1 cup double cream

• 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano, grated

• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Cook the pasta and cook to al dente.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

3. Add the sausage and fry it for 5-6 mins until slightly browned, breaking the sausage up as it cooks.

4. Add the onion and cook for 1-2 mins until it softens.

5. Stir in the crushed garlic and cook for another 30 secs until fragrant.

6. Add the white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 1-2 mins.

7. Stir in the double cream and cook for 1-2 mins until the sauce thickens.

8. Turn off the heat, transfer the pasta to the pan and toss it with the sauce.

9. Add the Pecorino Romano and stir until combined and the pasta is well coated.

10. Season with freshly ground pepper
