The Pasta alla Norcina traditional recipe is a typical pasta from Norcia, very tasty and easy to prepare. It is made with Norcia sausages, but if you can’t find them, simply use your favorite sausages, and you’ll fall in love with this recipe, which tradition enthusiasts often finish with a generous sprinkle of black truffle on top. Here, truffles are never available, so I didn’t include them, but I had it with truffles in Norcia, and it was amazing, so if you have the opportunity, add them too.
