Pasta alla Norcina; sausage pasta recipe from Umbria

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Pasta alla norcina is a typical recipe from Umbria; specifically the ancient town of Norcia, famous for its sausages and cured meats. There are actually two versions of pasta alla norcina. This one is made with Norcia sausage crumbled into a pan with oil and onion, fresh cream, truffle and pecorino. This is a very simple recipe with few ingredients but so flavourful and creamy you’ll want to make it part of your regular pasta menu.

The other version of pasta alla norcina is usually made with long pasta like spaghetti or tagliatelle, which is dressed with only black truffles, garlic and anchovies, to which you can also add foraged mushrooms. I’m looking forward to giving that version a try soon. But for now let’s talk about this one!

pasta alla norcina

Norcia; a little town with a big culinary reputation!

Umbria is well-known for its pork, hams, sausages, and other cured meats. The best of these come from Norcia. This town has become so famous for its method of pork butchery and preparation of cured meats, that butchers across Italy now use the term ‘norcino’ to refer to all kinds of meat preserved in the ‘Norcia’ way and the name ‘norcineria’ is used for butchers that specialize in preparing, curing and selling pork products.

Step 1 Gather your ingredients. Then remove sausage meat from casing and peel and chop the onion.

Norcia is also famous for black truffles. In fact, the truffles found around Norcia are highly prized and considered a gastronomic gem. Every year at the end of February or beginning of March, there is an important Italian Black Truffle fair in the town. Visitors to the fair can taste all the gastronomic specialties of Umbria cuisine, and especially those with truffle, of course. These specialties include cured meat and cheese seasoned with truffles, as well as pasta dishes like this pasta alla norcina.

Step 2 Sauté the onion in olive oil then add crumbled sausage meat.

The Pasta for alla Norcina.

This recipe is usually prepared with short pasta such as penne or rigatoni. I used Italian maccheroni made by La Molisana but you can also use any short pasta of your choice.

Step 3 Once the sausage is browned add wine. Allow the alcohol to burn off then cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Can you use other types of sausage?

Finding Norcia sausages isn’t easy outside of Italy. So, of course, you can use any good quality Italian pork sausage. The dish will still taste fabulous. I would try to find Italian sausage without fennel but with garlic if possible, or rosemary.

Step 4 Season with salt and pepper. Add cream, pecorino and truffle shavings if using. Simmer for a few minutes.

Can you use truffle oil?

To be honest, rather than use truffle oil, I’d probably leave the truffle out. Although, you could try just a tiny amount of truffle oil or perhaps some truffle paste. However, even in Umbria, this dish is often served without truffle when they’re not available or out of season. I used frozen truffles as I’m lucky enough to source truffles from the area I live in and often freeze them for later use!

Step 5 Cook the pasta al dente, drain it and add to the sauce.

What are the other ingredients in pasta alla Norcina?

Apart from the sausage and truffles (if using them), this pasta alla Norcina recipe has very few ingredients. All you need is some fresh cream, grated pecorino, white wine and onion. The sauce doesn’t take long, so you can prepare it while boiling the water for, and cooking, the pasta. All in all not much work for a totally yummy plate of pasta that I’m sure will become a firm favourite before you’ve even finished the bowl!

Step 6. Mix the pasta and sauce together. Serve with more grated pecorino, black pepper and truffle shavings (if using).

Buon appetito!

Ingredients
  

  • 400g penne (14oz) or other short pasta
  • 2-3 Italian pork sausages
  • 1 onion white or yellow
  • 1-2 black truffles I used 2 small ones (optional)
  • 200 ml fresh cream (6-7floz)
  • 1/2 glass white wine
  • 50 g pecorino cheese (2oz) grated
  • 3-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • salt for pasta and to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Remove the casing from the sausages and crumble the meat filling. Peel and chop the onion finely.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta, add salt and bring to the boil again.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan or skillet over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it starts to soften then add the crumbled sausage meat.
  • Brown the sausage, while stirring with a wooden spatula to prevent it from sticking. Pour in the wine. Allow the alcohol to evaporate while stirring. Lower the heat, cover, and finish cooking the sausage in its own juices for 10 minutes
  • Uncover, taste and season with salt and pepper as required. Pour in the cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Add a few truffle shavings (if using) and half the pecorino. Reduce the sauce for 3–4 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover and set aside.
  • Cook the pasta in the salted boiling water until al dente according to the instructions on the packet. Save some of the pasta cooking water and drain the pasta. Add it to the pan with the sausage and cream sauce.
  • Over a low heat, mix the pasta and sauce together– you can add a little pasta cooking water if it seems too thick
  • Serve immediately with a generous sprinkling of grated pecorino, some freshly ground black pepper and truffle shavings .

Notes

Traditionally this recipe is served with short pasta such as penne or rigatoni. I used Italian maccheroni. 
The original recipe is made with Norcia sausage but a good Italian pork sausage would work well too. I would try to find sausage without fennel but with garlic if possible, or rosemary.
Black truffles are often added when they are in season but this dish is often made without. Truffle oil isn’t a great substitute in this recipe as it may smother the other flavours. But you could try a little or some truffle paste.

    This recipe looks so delicious. I love Italian sausage, but have never used it in a cream sauce for pasta. Living here in the US I will try a little truffle paste (and I really like the comment above from someone who make truffle butter and freezes it. What a great idea!)

    I fell in love with this dish in Assisi years ago. If I want to avoid the fennel, can I just use ground pork and add…..what? Thanks.

      Hi Celeste thanks for your comment. I’m not sure about what you mean by avoiding fennel. There’s no fennel in this recipe. I just mentioned it’s better not to use sausages made with fennel in them. Plain Italian or other pork sausages or those made with garlic or rosemary are better. Sausages have a different flavour to ground pork but, of course, you can use it. I would add a little rosemary if you want to include a herb.

    Delicious! I always keep truffle butter in my freezer. With so little entertaining this sad year, I skipped purchasing “extravagant extras” like truffles and the butter version is a good substitute. I heated it with the cream in a small saucepan and then added it to the sausage. I think it worked just fine. Thank you for the recipe.

    I made this recipe for my wife. We used truffle carpaccio (in oil) since we didn’t have dry truffle. I also used rigatoni. I also added a little garlic and basil, which is probably frowned upon, but it was so good.

    This was such a delicious and simple dish. It was so flavorful. If we bought it in a restaurant this would easily be $25-$30 a dish. I think it cost us $6-7 total. We are thrilled to have a new pasta recipe in our arsenal.. Thank you so much!

    This was delicious! I hope I did not break some sacred rule, but I used red wine rather than white because it’s what I had on hand. I did not add truffles. I topped it with chopped parsley. Had 3 servings…

          Hi Kai, if you are using dried porcini, don’t forget to soak them for at least 30 minutes before adding them. I would add the mushrooms after adding the sausage. The ricotta can be added with the cream!

    My family and I just got back from a 10 day tour of Italy; Venice, Pisa, Florence, Rome, and Pompei. My wife had a tracked this recipe down as it was a dish she had in Florence so I made it for her. I followed the recipe to the gram and it came out perfecto! Literally one of the tastiest things I’ve ever made. Now to track down the ragu we had in a farmhouse in Tuscany!

      Forgot to mention, her dish had rosemary in it and I do believe it’s in your picture of the dish but not the ingredients. She just so happened to be growing some so I used the leaves of a 2inch sprig. Added it in with the cream. Bene!

    I love sausage. This pasta dish just looks delicious. I love that you share so much of the culture behind your pasta dishes.

    I wonder what would be the taste of this pasta if it was dressed with black truffles only? I guess I will need to come to Norcia in February to find out 🙂

      You can find another recipe called alla Norcina in Norcia which is made just with the truffles! I hope you’ll get to try it if you go to Norcia!
