Method

Step 1

Remove the outermost leaves from the leeks and wash the leeks under running water to remove any dirt. Cut (the white part only) into thin slices. Cut and remove the casing from the pork sausage.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a pan over high heat and add the sausage, cooking until it has browned completely. Add the leeks, cook for three minutes, add the white wine and continue to cook until the liquid has been reduced by about half. Adjust the salt and pepper and remove from the heat.

Step 3

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for the time indicated on the package.

Step 4

Drain the pasta, dress with the sauce prepared as above and the butter and mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Top with grated cheese and garnish with parsley before serving.

Step 6

Fusilli pasta can be used instead of the gemelli.

Gemelli

Gemelli is a simple shape of two strands of pasta twisted together. These small pasta twists are also remarkably versatile, as their shape holds the flavor of sauce beautifully while retaining the firm "al dente" texture that you expect from Barilla. Barilla^® Gemelli is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
