Some recipes SOUND amazing before you have even taken a single bite of the finished dish. That’s certainly the case with Pasta alla Zozzona, a classic Roman dish that actually translates as “dirty pasta”. Apparently the word “zozzo” is slang for dirty but can also mean rich and decadent which this pasta definitely is!
Pasta alla Zozzona is what you get when you marry carbonara and amatriciana (I am already hooked). Take the guanciale, pecorino and egg yolks from carbonara, add the spicy tomato sauce from amatriciana and throw in some Italian sausage for good measure. It is messy, hearty and incredibly delicious in the best way possible.
