Norcia-style pasta is a traditional first course from Umbria that is quick and easy to prepare.
The main ingredient of this dish is Umbrian sausage, which is characterized by the presence of garlic and pepper in its mixture, but you can substitute it with any sausage you like, plus a few other simple ingredients such as ricotta and Pecorino. The preparation is quite easy and quick, resulting in a very flavorful dish that you can make even more refined, if you wish, with a dusting of truffle.
