How to Make Pasta alla Zozzona Like an Italian It’s time to get down and dirty with Rome’s famous “dirty pasta,” Pasta alla Zozzona. It’s the cousin of Carbonara and the brother-in-law of Amatriciana, the best of both worlds. This dish isn’t well known outside of Rome, which is why your friends will think you’re a genius for making it. INGREDIENTS 10.58 oz Rigatoni Pasta 300g 3 free range/organic eggs 1 thick pork Italian sausage 5.29 oz Guanciale 150g ½ Onion chopped finely 28.2 oz Peeled tomatoes 2 x 400g cans Pecorino Romano cheese as much as you like! 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Fresh basil as much as preferred Salt and pepper as much as required INSTRUCTIONS To Prepare the Sauce Pour the canned tomatoes into a bowl and gently press to break them down using a fork. Remove the skin from the guanciale with a knife, but leave the fat. Cut the guanciale into thin strips, then into bite-size pieces. Make a shallow cut in the Italian sausage, then peel off the skin. Press the sausage meat flat with the side/tip of the knife and break it into smaller pieces. Put three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in the frying pan. Add diced onion and cook for up to 7 minutes on medium heat. When the onion turns golden brown, add the guanciale, and once this is crispy add Italian sausage. Stir continuously making sure it is cooked all over. Add some more extra virgin olive oil and allow it to cook through. When sausage becomes greyish brown, add peeled tomatoes. Stir gently and cook for 15 minutes on medium-low heat. Add a touch of salt and press down on the tomatoes to release the juice. Leave to cook for 15 more minutes. To Cook the pasta Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous tablespoon of sea salt. Add rigatoni to the boiling water and cook for 13 minutes, (or follow packet instructions to ensure they’re al dente). Stir pasta occasionally and once ready, scoop up a mug full of pasta water. #zozzona #pastazozzona #pasta #pastatiktok #pastarecipe #pastatok #pastaoftheday #tiktokfam #pastatoscana #pastavideo #videorecipe #pastarecipes #recipe #recipes #recipesoftiktok #recipeforyou #cooking #cookingvideo #videorecipe
