Nov 10, 2024 | This quick and easy Pasta alla Norcina is Italian comfort food at its best. It has a wonderfully creamy sauce made from savory sausage and smooth cream, with a delightful hint of white wine and a generous sprinkle of Pecorino Romano cheese. Originating from the Umbrian town of Norcia, known for its excellent pork products.

You can make a delicious version of the dish using other types of sausage. Here are some options and tips:

Sweet or spicy Italian sausage: This is a good alternative, as it also has a similar flavor profile to Norcia sausage.

Regular pork sausage: You can use locally available pork sausage and season it with a mix of garlic, black pepper, nutmeg, oregano, and a little clove to replicate the flavor.

Chicken or turkey sausage: If you prefer a lighter option, chicken or turkey sausage can also work well. Just be sure to add a little more spice to maintain the flavor profile.
