Butterflies alla luganega

The farfalle alla luganega are a perfect combination of the sweetness of this spectacular sausage and the consistency of the farfalle.

Farfalle alla luganega are a very tasty first course that combine a pleasantly chewable pasta with a fragrant and delicate sausage. The luganega is originally from the Monza area , and its ingredients include parmesan cheese, meat broth and wine. Farfalle can also be made with other types of sausage, but are usually tastier when made this way. In this case adjust carefully with salt and pepper.
