Celebrate Autumn Flavours: Two Cozy Recipes and Perfect Wine Pairings from Tinazzi. Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage with Nyktos Aglianico Puglia IGP

Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage with Nyktos Aglianico Puglia IGP

Ingredients:

  • 300 g orecchiette pasta
  • 300 g broccoli rabe
  • 200 g sausage
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh chili (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Clean the broccoli rabe and cook it in boiling salted water for about 5 minutes. Drain and cool under cold water.
  2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil with the garlic cloves. Add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned.
  3. Add the broccoli rabe to the pan and cook for a few more minutes, mixing well.
  4. Cook the orecchiette in salted water, then drain and add to the pan with the sausage and broccoli rabe. Stir to combine all the flavors.

Wine Pairing: This hearty and flavorful dish pairs excellently with l’Aglianico Puglia IGP “Nyktos” from the Feudo Croce line. The wine’s rich structure and dark fruit characteristics enhance the savory sausage and the slightly bitter notes of broccoli rabe. The Aglianico’s firm tannins and complex profile make it an excellent partner for this hearty pasta dish, balancing and amplifying its flavors.
