Instructions:
To create this flavorful and satisfying dish of Tagliatelle with Spring Onions and Sausage, start by preparing your ingredients. Trim the ends of the spring onions, slice them into thin rings, and set them aside. For the sausage, carefully slit the casing and remove the meat, crumbling it into small pieces for a more rustic texture.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced spring onions, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté them for a few minutes until they begin to soften and release their aromatic flavors. Once the onions are tender and lightly golden, introduce the crumbled sausage into the pan. Let it cook for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown and crisp up slightly.
Next, pour in a bit of hot beef broth to deglaze the pan, lifting up any caramelized bits of sausage and onion. Stir in the tomato paste, mixing it thoroughly with the broth to create a rich, savory base. Add another couple of ladles of broth to create a sauce that will coat the pasta beautifully.
While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg tagliatelle according to the package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain the pasta, reserving a little bit of pasta water.
Immediately add the cooked tagliatelle to the skillet with the sausage and spring onion mixture. Toss everything together gently, adding a bit of the reserved pasta water if necessary to help the sauce adhere to the pasta. Finally, sprinkle the freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese over the top, stirring to combine.
Serve the Tagliatelle with Spring Onions and Sausage hot, ensuring each plate is generously coated with the savory sauce and a sprinkle of cheese. This dish is perfect for a comforting meal that brings together the bold flavors of sausage and the delicate sweetness of spring onions.
