Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausage
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 carrot, peeled and diced
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 1/2 cups tomato puree, such as Mutti
- One 2-inch rind Parmesan cheese
- 1 pound fresh Pappardelle, recipe follows
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 1/2 cups 00 flour, such as Caputo, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup semolina flour, such as Caputo, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg plus 8 yolks
Instructions
- Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and sausage and cook, stirring often and breaking apart the sausage with the back of a wooden spoon, until beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the onion, carrot and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and the vegetables are almost cooked through, about 4 minutes. Deglaze with the wine, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree and cheese rind. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season the water generously with salt. Add the Pappardelle and cook until the pasta is floating and barely al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain well.
- Remove and discard the Parmesan rind from the sauce. Add the pasta to the sauce and sprinkle the bare pasta with the Parmesan cheese and basil. Add 1/2 cup pasta water and toss well to coat, adding more pasta water as needed to maintain a light sauce. Serve with more Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
- In a large bowl, combine the 00 and semolina flours and salt and form a well. Add the egg and yolks to the center of the well. Using a fork, slowly start to incorporate the flour into the eggs to form a rough dough. You may add a splash of water if the dough is too dry or a dusting of flour if it is too wet.
- Lightly flour a smooth work surface and pour the dough onto the flour. Knead the dough until it springs back when you press a finger into it, 10 to 12 minutes. Flatten the dough into an even square. Wrap the dough well in plastic wrap and allow to rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Cut the dough into 3 pieces. Set up a pasta roller according to the manufacturer’s directions and set it at the widest setting. Dust one section of the dough with semolina flour and press firmly to flatten the dough to 1/4 inch. Roll the dough through the machine on the widest setting. Fold the pasta dough in thirds and dust the outside with flour. Send it through the widest setting again. Reduce the setting to the next setting. Send the dough through the machine. Fold it in thirds once again and send through the setting one more time. Continue sending the dough through the machine, reducing the setting each time, until the desired thickness is reached, about 1/8 inch. Lay the sheet out on the counter and dust with flour. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut strips 1 inch by 10 inches. Dust the strips with more flour. Continue with the remaining dough.

Tasty, quick and easy!
SO good!!
This was easy and delicious! I used Rao’s Arrabbiata sauce instead of tomato puree because it’s what I had on hand and added a couple cloves of garlic cloves,
Only didn’t rate a 5 because we haven’t made the pasta but used store bought. Delicious and will put in our rotation!
Absolutely delicious! I did add one very small clove of garlic.
This is so simple and very tasty. I used half pound of each spicy and sweet sausage. Came together so nicely.
Huge hit in my house! Not too difficult and my 4 year old ate it so big win!
This recipe, as usual, is not what Giada did. She didn’t knead the dough or let it rest at room temp., she put it in the refrigerator. She didn’t mention to fold the dough into thirds before putting it through the pasta machine again. She didn’t take out the parmesan rind, she said it melted in the sauce. And she didn’t add water to the sauce. Why can’t they get these recipes to match what is demonstrated?
I used this recipe to learn how to make fresh pasta. Giada’s video was extremely helpful. I made pappardelle this time and I am going to try fettuccine next time.
Made it exactly how the recipe was except I bought fresh pappardelle at an Italian market. It was delicious!!
