The story
About the dish
Davanti’s September announcement calls this dish maccheroni and describes the pasta as small rigatoni. The tubes are tossed with house-made sausage slowly cooked in tomato sauce with garlic and red pepper. Tomato brings acidity, sausage adds savory richness, and the pepper supplies warmth.
The pairing has a clear Calabrian connection. Italia.it’s regional food guide describes both fresh and dried peperoncino as familiar parts of Calabria’s table, alongside a strong tradition of sausage and other cured meats. Here, that combination gives a simple bowl of pasta its lively character.
