Fusilli with Sausage and Leeks
FUSILLI Al PORRI E SALSICCIA
The sweetness of leeks and the savoriness of pork sausage make a wonderful combination in
this pasta dish. The sauce is equally good with the long telephone-cord-shaped fusilli or the
short spiral fusilli.
i . Cut off the root ends of the leeks and trim the tough green tops of the leaves. Cut the leeks
crosswise in half and then lengthwise in half again. Cut each quarter in long, very thin strips
and place in a large bowl of cold water to soak.
2. Put the sausage and lA cup water in a i o - to 12-inch saute pan and place it over medium-
high heat. Break up the sausage with a wooden spoon and cook until all the water is evapo-
rated and the sausage begins to brown lightly.
3. Fill a pot for the pasta with at least 4 quarts water and place it over high heat.
5. Lift the leeks out of the water, so that any dirt remains in the bottom of the bowl. Discard
any fat the sausage may have released, add the butter and leeks to the saute pan, and season
with salt and pepper (bear in mind that the sausage is already seasoned). Turn the heat down
to medium-low and cover the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are wilted and
very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. After the leeks have been cooking for about 12 minutes and the water for the pasta has
come to a boil, add 1 tablespoon salt to the boiling water, put in the pasta, and stir well.
6. While the pasta and the leeks are cooking, grate the cheese.
Mushroom and Parmesan salad is often found in Italy in the fall, when it is made with ovuli,
a wild mushroom that is excellent raw. W h e n using the milder cultivated mushrooms, I have
found the peppery taste of arugula adds a richness of flavor that makes up for the absence of
ovuli. Now that a wide variety of wild mushrooms is available in some markets, you may want
to experiment with some and omit the arugula. This dish is excellent as an appetizer or a more
substantial salad at the end of a meal.
i . Remove the stems from the arugula and rinse the leaves in several changes of cold water.
2. Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and trim the stems if bruised. Very
thinly slice the mushrooms lengthwise.
3. In a salad bowl, combine the mushrooms and arugula. Season with salt, the olive oil, lemon
juice, and pepper. Toss until the arugula and mushrooms are well coated with the dressing.
Transfer the salad to individual salad plates and top with the Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings.
