Salsiccia

Fresh pasta with tomato sauce, Italian sausage and fresh spinach

Salsiccia is a pasta course that brings together character and freshness, built around simple yet well-defined ingredients. The sweetness of tomato, the savoury richness of Italian sausage and the green note of fresh spinach come into balance in the fresh pasta, which ties all the flavours together. At Parma & Pasta we make it as a fresh pasta course, rolled, cut and cooked to order, because only handmade pasta can carry a hearty sauce without losing its lightness.

Tomato, sausage and greens: a truly Italian combination

Pairing tomato with sausage is deeply rooted in Italian cooking. It is a combination born in everyday home kitchens, designed to create satisfying, flavourful, no-fuss dishes without resorting to complicated techniques. Adding fresh spinach brings a vegetable element that lightens the dish and balances its intensity.

The tomato sauce: quality and provenance

In a dish like this one, tomato plays a central role: it has to complement the sausage without overpowering it. That is why we use only Mutti passata, from the historic Parma-based company, chosen for the natural quality of its product and its balance of acidity and sweetness. A clean, reliable base, essential for building a harmonious sauce.

Italian sausage and fresh spinach

Italian sausage brings body and savoury depth to the dish. It is prepared with care to keep its full flavour without excess fat. Fresh spinach, added at the end of cooking, brings freshness and colour, making the dish more balanced and its flavours easier to read.

Fresh pasta as the balancing element

A tomato and sausage sauce needs a base that can hold on to it without making the dish heavy. Fresh pasta, thanks to its natural porosity, lets the sauce cling evenly.

How it is prepared and served

The sauce is built starting from the tomato, with the sausage added to develop its flavour. The fresh spinach is stirred in only at the very end, to preserve its texture and colour. The dish is served the moment it is ready, without unnecessary garnishes, because its value lies in the clarity of its flavours.
