Savory Italian rigatoni with sausage, egg yolks, and pecorino cheese for a rich and flavorful dish. Don't waste the egg whites - save them for dessert!
Ingredients:
  • 300g rigatoni pasta
  • 250g Italian-style pork sausages, meat squeezed out of casings, broken into pieces
  • 200g pancetta slices or streaky bacon rashers, coarsely chopped
  • 400ml bottle passata
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 50g (2/3 cup) finely grated pecorino or parmesan, plus extra, to serve
Instructions:
  • Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente according to package instructions. Save 60ml (1/4 cup) of pasta water before draining.
  • Heat a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat, then cook the sausage and bacon until browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer half of the sausage mixture to a plate using a slotted spoon. Next, add the passata to the pan and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium, add the pasta, toss to coat, and then remove from heat.
  • Whisk egg yolks and pecorino cheese with a fork. Gradually mix in pasta water until combined.
  • Combine the egg mixture with the pasta, tossing well until fully mixed. Sprinkle the reserved sausage mixture over the top and finish with a generous sprinkle of extra Parmesan before serving.
