1

Pelare e tagliare la cipolla a fette, poi farla rosolare in padella con un filo d’olio.

2

Aggiungere la salsiccia sbriciolata e farla cuocere fino a doratura.

3

Sfumare con il brandy (attenzione: potrebbe fiammare!). Una volta evaporata la parte alcolica, aggiungere i pomodori pelati schiacciati a mano.

4

Salare con moderazione (la salsiccia è già saporita) e lasciar cuocere il sugo.

5

Nel frattempo, tritare il prezzemolo e cuocere la pasta al dente.

6

Quando il sugo è pronto, aggiungere la panna e lasciarla ridurre.

7

Scolare la pasta e trasferirla in padella con il condimento, mantecando bene.

8

Spegnere il fuoco, aggiungere il prezzemolo tritato e abbondante parmigiano, continuando a mescolare.

9

Impiattare con un’ultima nevicata di parmigiano e servire.
