Large tube pasta with homemade sausage slow-cooked in tomato sauce, garlic and red pepper—savory, aromatic and warmly spicy.
The story
About the dish
The broad paccheri catch the slow-cooked tomato sauce and pieces of homemade sausage in every bite. Sausage gives the sauce deep savory richness, garlic adds a warm aroma, and red pepper leaves a lively heat that brightens the tomato rather than hiding it.
The words alla Calabrese point toward one of Calabria’s strongest culinary symbols. The region’s official tourism site calls peperoncino the “king” of Calabrian cooking: it appears fresh, dried, ground, preserved in oil and woven into many local foods. Its place at the table is cultural as well as flavorful—a small ingredient that instantly evokes the character of the region.
