Preparation: Cut the guanciale into fine strips. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Rub the rosemary sprigs between your hands to release the aromas.
Cooking guanciale: Heat a pan over medium heat and slowly render the guanciale until the fat melts and the pieces become crispy.
Adding flavorings: Add the garlic and the sprig of rosemary to the pan and sauté briefly until it starts to smell fragrant.
Cooking mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté until golden brown. Deglaze with the white wine, then add the cream and veal stock. Let the sauce simmer gently over low heat. Cut the casing of the fennel sausage and add the sausage in pieces.
Cooking pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 10 g of salt per liter of water. Cook the radiatori 1 minute less than indicated on the package.
Finishing the pasta: Add the almost cooked pasta directly to the sauce along with a ladle of pasta water. Stir everything well and let it cook for another 2 minutes over low heat. The mantecatura technique will make the sauce creamy and it will adhere perfectly to the pasta. Stir in the coarsely chopped parsley.
Serving: Divide the pasta among deep plates. Grate the smoked scamorza and bergamot zest over it. Serve immediately.
Tips
For this recipe I chose the cute radiatori pasta. Thanks to the fine ridges in this pasta, the sauce lingers perfectly. The combination of juicy fennel sausage, earthy chanterelles and a rich veal stock brings us very close to a top recipe. But it is only really special with smoked Scamorza and a touch of mountain seal as a finishing touch. Can you already imagine the flavors? The soft smoke flavor of the Scamorza, the freshness of the Bergamot and the intense, savory flavors of the sausage and mushrooms ... This is pasta on its very best. Get ready to put Italy on your plate! 🙂
