Method
Step 1
Bring a large saucepan filled with plenty of water to the boil. Once boiling add rock salt, we recommend 7 grams per litre of water. Drop Casarecce into the boiling water and cook as per the instructions on the box.
Step 2
Add oil to a hot fry pan, then add onions and leeks and cook for 2 minutes. Add pumpkin and parsnips and cook for a further 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper as required. Add half a ladle of cooking water to the pan and allow the vegetables to simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the sausage and cook through, then add the Ricotta sauce and simmer for 1 minute.
Step 4
Drain the pasta two minutes before the suggested cooking time and toss with the sauce for a further minute. Add spinach and mix well for 30 seconds.
Step 5
Serve with grated salted ricotta and a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive oil.
