Pasta alla zozzona

Pasta alla zozzona is a traditional pasta dish originating from Rome. The dish is made with a combination of short pasta such as penne or rigatoni, pork sausage, tomatoes, red wine, olive oil, and grated Pecorino Romano. The sauce is made with all of the ingredients except for the pasta. Once the pasta has been cooked, it’s mixed with the sauce, and the dish is then served with grated Pecorino cheese on top. The word zozzona in the name of the dish means that something is full of everything and it’s hard to describe, referring to the richness of the dish itself.
