Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: chicken sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

mozzarella cheese

balsamic glaze

🥗Healthier: balsamic vinegar

💰Cheaper: honey + vinegar

Balsamic vinegar is a healthier option, while a mix of honey and vinegar can mimic the glaze.

ciabatta rolls

🥗Healthier: whole grain rolls

Finely chop a piece of onion.

Remove the casing from the sausage and crumble it.

In a bowl, mix together two egg yolks, a mix of pecorino siciliano, parmigiano, and black pepper.

Boil water for the pasta.

In a pan, briefly sauté the onion in extra virgin olive oil.

Add the crumbled sausage and cook for the necessary time.

Deglaze the pan with hot water and turn off the heat.

Boil the troccoli pasta for about 6 minutes.

Once cooked, transfer the troccoli to the pan and mix briefly over medium heat.

Off the heat, add the egg and cheese mixture and finish the dish with a generous sprinkle of black pepper.

Plate and serve hot.
