INGREDIENTS:

• 250g pappardelle pasta (fresh is best).

• 300g high-quality italian sausages (skins removed).

• 2 cloves of garlic (minced).

PREPARATION:

STEP 1: bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pappardelle until al dente.

STEP 2: meanwhile heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan and brown the crumbled sausage meat until golden and crispy.

STEP 3: add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for one minute until fragrant.

STEP 4: pour in the heavy cream and add the saffron threads then let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

STEP 6: stir in the grated parmesan cheese and add a splash of pasta water if needed to reach a velvety consistency.

• STEP 7: season with black pepper and garnish with fresh herbs before serving hot.
