Pasta alla Norcina is one of the most underrated pasta dishes in all of Italy, and once you make it you'll understand why it deserves way more attention. This Umbrian classic combines Italian sausage, heavy cream, black pepper, ground fennel, and Pecorino Romano into a sauce that's rich, silky, and ridiculously easy to make at home.

Ingredients (Serves 1):
* 1 Italian sausage
* ½ small onion, finely diced
* 2 tbsp butter
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* Salt & black pepper
* Ground fennel seeds
* 1 cup heavy cream
* Pasta of choice
* Pecorino Romano
* Pasta water

Method:
1. Heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Remove the sausage from its casing, break it into small pieces, and brown well.
3. Add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes until softened.
4. Season with salt, black pepper, and a generous pinch of ground fennel seeds.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer until slightly reduced.
6. Cook your pasta until just shy of al dente, then transfer it to the sauce with a splash of pasta water.
7. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce until it's silky and coats every strand.
8. Top generously with freshly grated Pecorino Romano and enjoy.
