Penne rigate with spicy sausage, saffron, and cream

A hearty and genuine dish with bold flavors that I find satisfying to the palate.

  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Cost: Economical
  • Preparation time: 10 Minutes
  • Cooking time: 15 Minutes
  • Portions: 4 people
  • Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • 14 oz Penne Rigate
  • g Saffron
  • cup cream (for cooking)
  • 4 tbsps Parmigiano Reggiano (grated)
  • 12 oz Spicy sausage
  • 2 tsps Coarse salt
  • 1 clove Garlic

Preparation

  • Place the crumbled sausage in a pan with the garlic clove and sauté.
    In a bowl, put the cream and dissolve the saffron in it.
    Add the cream mixture to the pan with the sausage and cook for about 5 minutes.
    Bring plenty of water to a boil in a pot, add salt once boiling and add the pasta.
    Cook until al dente, drain with a slotted spoon and add directly to the pan with the sauce. Toss and serve hot.
    If desired, add some parmesan to the dish.

Notes

I recommend keeping some of the cooking water aside in case the pasta gets too dry.
