Pasta with potatoes and sausage is a classic of Italian cuisine. If you’re in a hurry, I recommend pasta with sausage and stracciatella or pasta with sausage and Philadelphia, two equally delicious first courses. The recipe I propose today is a very simple comfort food to prepare, warm and enveloping, perfect for the winter period. It can be prepared quickly, with ingredients we all have at home. For the potatoes, you can use yellow or red ones, and for the broth, I used vegetable broth, but if you prefer, you can use meat broth. If you don’t like provola, you can substitute it with fontina; in short, maximum versatility for this recipe! If you try it, let me know in the comments.

How to make pasta with potatoes and sausage
Chop the celery, carrot, onion, and potatoes, combine them in a pot with a drizzle of olive oil.
Sauté, then cut the sausage removing the “casing”, add it to the chopped vegetables, and cook over high heat.
Next, pour the wine and let it evaporate. When it has evaporated, pour in the broth and continue cooking.
At boiling point, add the pasta and let it cook, stirring often.
After the pasta cooking time, add the provola cut into pieces.
A sprinkle of pepper and a drizzle of oil.
Storage and tips for pasta and potatoes
It is preferable to consume it immediately while hot and stringy! However, if there are leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. To reheat it, you will need to add some hot broth. If you want to add a touch of flavor, you can season it with thyme, parsley, rosemary, or with chili for a spicy touch.
