How to make Pasta alla Salsicia e Vino:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until done “al dente.”
2. In the meantime, in a large skillet, melt the light olive oil and butter together. Add garlic and heat until opaque in color.. Add Premio Sausage and half the wine, and cook on medium heat until the sausages are fully cooked (add more wine as needed but be sure to leave enough liquid to create a sauce).
3. In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the sausage and wine, lemon juice, sea salt, fresh ground pepper and Italian parsley. Drizzle with the high-quality extra-virgin olive oil and top with Pecorino Romano and crushed red pepper.
