Pasta alla Norcina is a heavenly creamy dish that originates in the province of Umbria, specifically the city of Norcia. Pork sausage, lots of garlic, white wine and Pecorino Romano are the key ingredients in this delicious white sauce pasta that's ready in just 20 minutes.

Creamy and comforting pasta dish made with sausage, mushrooms, white wine, heavy cream, Pecorino Romano, and a pinch of nutmeg.

rigatoni (or other tubular pasta)

baby Bella mushrooms (diced)

Italian sausage

onion

garlic

dry white wine

heavy cream

pasta water (will not need it all)

nutmeg

Pecorino Romano (grated)

salt and pepper (to taste)

Bring a large pot of salted (2 tablespoons kosher salt)  water to boil.

Heat a large pan to medium heat then add in the olive oil and sausage.  Brown the sausage (about 5-7 minutes) then make some room in the pan and add the mushrooms and continue to cook until they brown as well.

Once the sausage and mushrooms are brown add the onion and garlic.  After 2 minutes remove the garlic from the pan and discard.  Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the onions are soft.

Turn heat to medium-high and add the wine.  Cook for a minute to reduce the wine by about half. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove all the brown bits.  At this time begin cooking pasta to a bit less than al dente.

Add the cream and bring sauce to a simmer while stirring.  Once simmering turn the heat down to low.

Once pasta is almost al dente add it to the sauce and mix to coat.  Turn heat to medium.  Add a bit of pasta water if needed to loosen things up.  Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the pasta is perfectly al dente.

Turn the heat off and remove the pan from the heat.  Add the Pecorino, mix well, then taste test.  Season with a good amount of black pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, and salt to taste.    Serve with grated Pecorino.  Enjoy!

Pasta alla Norcina might be the best pasta that most people in America haven't heard of.  It consists of pan-seared crumbled sausage in a creamy white wine sauce with a touch of nutmeg.  Traditionally this dish uses a mild sausage and is finished with black truffles.  To keep it economical I instead used a bit of baby Bellas diced up.  I hope you enjoy this pasta alla Norcina recipe!
