My most favorite pasta dish from a local restaurant is this creamy, tomato based, flavorful strozzapreti that is laced with sausage & finished with a drizzle of truffle oil. My love for it is so strong that I just couldn’t resist being able to have it at my fingertips any time I want… so here is exactly that. This recipe is EASY guys, seems fancy I know, but so EASY.
