Pasta alla Norcina


Yes, it is not an award winning picture of an amazing looking dish. The kitchen from Umbria is called cucina povera (poor kitchen) but the simple dishes like this one taste great. The best reason to give you the recipe:

Cover 15g dried porcini with boiling water and soak 20min

Remove the skin of 250g pork sausages and stir-fry the minced meat 10 min till nicely browned 

Drain the porcini (keep the water), hack them finely and add to the meat with 2 finely hacked cloves of garlic. Fry for 4 mins, then add 5g flour and mix well

After 10 min add 200 ml double cream and 100 ml of the porcini water,

Simmer 10 mins 

In the meantime boil 120g penne

Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper

Serve as shown with grated Parmesan.
