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.

Casarecce

Casarecce originates from Sicily, but is also typical of other regions in the centre-south of Italy. Casarecce are long twists of pasta, which appear rolled up on themselves – perfect for holding sauce until the last drop.
