Ingredients
- 400 g Salsiccia sausages
- 75 g Red onion
- 8 g Garlic cloves
- 400 ml Heavy cream
- 250 ml Water
- 300 g Pasta
- 90 g Cream cheese
- 5 g Lemon zest
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 20 g Flour
Preparation
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve some of the pasta water before draining.
- Remove the salsiccia from the casings, crumble it into a large pan, and fry over medium-high heat until browned.
- Add the diced onion and chopped garlic to the pan and sauté briefly with the meat.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to coat, cooking for a minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Pour in the lemon juice, followed by the heavy cream and water. Stir to combine.
- Stir in the lemon zest and season with herbes de Provence, paprika, a pinch of turmeric, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken. If it's too thin, mix a little extra flour with water and stir it in carefully.
- Stir in the cream cheese and continue to simmer over low heat for another 20 minutes.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until well coated. Serve immediately.
