Type: Pasta
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Basic Fresh Egg Pasta dough - (see recipe)
1 tablespoon 15mlExtra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon 15mlButter
1 tablespoon 15mlOnion - diced (large)
1 lb 454g / 16ozBest-quality pork sausage - removed from casing
1 cup 237mlWhite wine
1 cup 237mlMilk
1/2 cup 118mlBrown Chicken Stock - (see recipe)
1 tablespoon 15mlTomato paste
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
  Parmigiano-Reggiano - for grating

Recipe Instructions

Roll the pasta out to the #4 setting, and form into gramigne. To form into gramigne, cut the dough into fingers that are 1/2-inch thick and 3 inches long. Starting with the palm of your hand, roll the dough pieces lengthwise. It should look like a piece of squiggly spaghetti.

In a 12- to 14-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter together over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook over high heat, draining the excess fat if necessary, until the sausage is very browned and somewhat crispy, about 10 minutes.

Add the wine and, stirring frequently, allow it to evaporate completely. Sir in the milk, Brown Chicken Stock, tomato paste and salt and pepper to taste and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Drop the gramigne into the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving the cooking water, and add the pasta to the sausage mixture. Toss over high heat 1 minute to coat, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if necessary to keep the condiment from getting too "tight."

Divide equally among 6 warmed pasta bowls, top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and serve immediately.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
