Tagliatelle with leeks and luganega
A greedy and balanced choice but above all that helps us discover a typical and regional ingredient!
In fact, the luganega is the traditional name given in Lombardy, Veneto and other Po Valley-Alpine regions to a fresh pork sausage, similar to the category of sausages.
The Lucanian hypothesis: The luganega is a typical preparation of Northern Italy whose birthplaces have been linked to the Roman era when a type of sausage originally from Lucania was indicated with the term lucanica
The Lombard hypothesis: It is also possible that it was not the Romans who imported the luganega into northern Italy but the Lombards, barbarians of Germanic origin, during the occupation of Langobardia Minor. They allegedly learned about the customs of the local populations and then transferred the recipe north
