Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Prepare the sauce base

1.

Finely chop the aubergines using a mezzaluna so they are very small. Finely chop the shallot. Remove the casing from the sausages. Place aubergines, shallot, sausage meat, and olive oil together in a pan over medium heat. Break up the sausage with a fork. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is soft and lightly fried.

4 Aubergine

1 Shallot

3 Pork sausage

3–4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

Add the tomato sauce

1.

Paolina says the sauce is ready when the oil starts to rise to the surface.

Make the dough

1.

Place the flour on a work surface. Add the egg and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water, mixing until you have a soft but firm dough. Knead until smooth, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

400 g Soft wheat flour, type 1, stone-ground

1 Egg

1 pinch Fine salt

180 ml Water

Shape the strozzapreti

1.

Roll out the dough very thin, slightly thicker than tagliatelle. Cut into strips about 1 cm wide. Take each strip, roll it between your palms (“prillare”), then cut to length (about 5–6 cm).

Cook and serve

1.

Cook the strozzapreti in well-salted boiling water. When they rise to the surface (about 2–3 minutes), drain and add directly to the sauce. Toss gently and serve immediately.
