Rigatoni Alla Zozzona
Rigatoni alla zozzona combines the ingredients of the four pasta dishes for which Romans are famous: amatriciana, cacio e pepe, carbonara and gricia. While many Italian meals are typically the result of simple flavors — “neat” preparations where only a few ingredients shine — rigatoni alla zozzona (which loosely translates to a big mess) is more of a kitchen sink approach, marrying the ingredients of the four pastas (tomato sauce, black pepper, egg yolks, cheese and guanciale) with sausage. Rigatoni’s sturdy tube shape provides the perfect vehicle to carry — and stand up to — the many components of the sauce.
Ingredients
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 pound large rigatoni
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 ounces guanciale (or pancetta), cut into 2-inch matchsticks
  • 1 small yellow onion, minced
  • 1 pound hot or sweet Italian sausages (about 4 to 5 sausages), casings removed
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes (about 12 ounces)
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 4 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
