Gramigna alla Salsiccia (Sausage)
Report
This gramigna pasta recipe from Bologna is one of the simplest sausage pasta recipes to make! It only has 3 main ingredients but it's really tasty, hearty and filling! A great favourite with children here in Italy.

Instructions
- Remove the skin from the sausage and chop into chunks.
- Fry the onion in olive oil until it starts to soften
- Add the sausage meat and continue cooking until it starts to brown.
- Add the white wine and cook for a further few minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Put water on to boil for the pasta. Add salt once it starts to boil.
- Add the passata or chopped tomatoes and simmer the sauce for 20-25 minutes ( If it gets too dry you can pour in a little water or more wine)
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet.
- When the pasta is cooked and strained add it to the sauce and cook everything together for a further minute, stirring the sauce into the pasta.
- Serve with grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
Notes
- Tomato passata can be swapped with fresh peeled and chopped tomatoes
- You can season the ready dish further if required with parsley or peperoncino flakes. ( We added some peperoncino!)
- Another way to spice it up is to add a little Nduja when you are cooking the sausage.
- If you don't have gramigna this dish is still delicious with other short pasta such as fusilli, elbow macaroni or even spaghetti.
- Tomato passata can be swapped with fresh peeled and chopped tomatoes
