[Bleep]ing delicious!

That’s what it was. And that’s what I was muttering to myself as I ate this week’s pasta, Spaghetti Chitarra alla Norcina at Angelini Osteria in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago. It really was that good.

And now I would like to take a moment to apologize to my older brother, Philip, who is no doubt cringing that I, his younger, more creative brother, would drop the f-bomb in a blog with our family name on it. And to my mother, who really did raise me better than this. But when I started this blog some years ago, I made a commitment to always be honest, even if it makes people uncomfortable, and to deliver only delicious, authentic pasta recipes. My cause is just! And seriously, it really was that good. So here is the recipe, courtesy of Chef Gino Angelini.

Please do pardon my French, but enjoy the pasta.

Buon Appetito!

Ed Garrubbo

Sunday Pasta:  Spaghetti Chitarra alla Norcina (Black Truffles and Sausage)

Ingredients

1 pound spaghetti chitarra (or linguine)
2 black truffles
½ cup olive oil
½ anchovy filet
1 clove garlic
1 sprig thyme
1 shallot
2 Italian sausages
8 ounces vegetable stock
1 tablespoon butter

Add shallots and continue to sauté. Deglaze with vegetable stock and reduce slightly. Add the cooked truffles and season with salt and pepper.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti until al dente. Strain the spaghetti and add to the sauce. Add butter and the toss spaghetti over medium heat until it is a creamy consistency. Remove from heat and toss with grated Parmigiano. Finish with freshly grated black truffle.

    truffles are mushrooms from northern italy. they are black or white, and called tartufi in Italian.

    At this time of year, I can’t seem to find fresh truffles. What’s an acceptable substitute to use for this recipe? Really want to try this one out at home! Thanks in advance.
