How to prepare: Maltagliati with sausage


To make the maltagliati with sausage, start with egg pasta. Collect the flour in a bowl, form the fountain in the center and shell the four eggs. Start mixing with a fork then proceed by hand until you get a compact dough. This operation usually takes place on a pastry board but we show you a more practical but still effective way. If the dough is too dry during processing, add a teaspoon of warm water at a time until it reaches the right consistency. The same operation can be performed with a planetary mixer. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film and let it rest for half an hour in the refrigerator.


Take the dough from the refrigerator, cut a portion and roll it thinly with a rolling pin or with a special dough sheeter machine. Roll the pastry into a cylinder and with a knife cut into triangles. Open them with your hands, so as to obtain many small diamonds. Let it dry.


In the meantime, dedicate yourself to the sauce. Remove the sausage from its casing, cut it into chunks and brown it without adding fat in a large pan. Then add half a glass of white wine and let it evaporate.


Flake the sausage with a wooden fork and add the tomato pulp. Meanwhile, cook the maltagliati in a pot with boiling salted water for about 3 minutes and add them gradually to the sauce. Mix well.

The sausage maltagliati are ready to be served with an optional sprinkling of Parmesan or pecorino.
