Tortiglioni con ragù di salciccia / Ricette primi carne

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami.

Chop small onions into pieces and place them in a bowl with a little olive oil and a bay leaf; cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 7-8 minutes on high power.

Remove the skin from the fresh Tuscan sausage and cut it into pieces; use one sausage per person plus one extra for flavor.

Heat a little olive oil in a pan and add fennel seeds; sauté until fragrant.

Add the sausage to the pan and brown it well.

Prepare double concentrated tomato paste by mixing it with a little white wine to thin it out; add this to the sausage.

Cook the mixture over medium-low heat.

Meanwhile, boil salted water and cook tortiglioni for about 12 minutes.

After 10 minutes of cooking the sauce, add a bit of starchy pasta water to the sausage sauce to thicken it.

Combine the cooked tortiglioni directly into the sauce and mix well.

Add Parmesan cheese to the pan and also serve some on individual plates.
