Maltese Sausage Riggatoni

Chef’s Name: Luca Lorenzo
Difficulty: Easy
Serves: 1 Serving

Ingredients

•⁠ 80g Rigatoni
•⁠ 2 Maltese sausages
•⁠ 5 mushrooms
•⁠ 200g fresh cream
•⁠ 1 teaspoon hot curry
•⁠ A sprinkle of grated cheese

Method

Break down 2 Maltese sausages into small pieces. Heat a pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil, and cook the sausage pieces until they are crispy. Remove the sausage and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.

In the same pan, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned and tender. Season with black pepper, chopped parsley, and smoked paprika. Return the cooked sausage to the pan with the mushrooms.

Cook the rigatoni pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, reserving a cup of the pasta cooking water. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water to the sausage and mushroom mixture to add moisture, and cook until the water has reduced slightly.

Stir in fresh cream and a dash of curry powder, mixing well to combine and heat through. Toss the cooked rigatoni into the sauce, ensuring the pasta is well coated.

Serve with a sprinkle of grated cheese and additional chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious Rigatoni with Maltese Sausage and Mushroom Sauce!
