This pasta sauce is the quintessential comfort food that all of us desperately need as we start to wonder if this long, long winter will ever end. When I had a hankering for <em>rag\u00f9<\/em> the other day, I turned to Italy\u2019s premier cooking magazine to see what they had to say on the subject. <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacucinaitaliana.it\/\">La Cucina Italiana\u2019s<\/a><\/em>\u00a0recipe for classic Bolognese sauce has <strong>19 ingredients<\/strong>, including five different kinds of meat (sweet Italian sausage, <em>pancetta<\/em>, ground beef, ground pork and ground veal) moistened with three liquids (wine, beef broth and milk), added at different times. It starts by finely chopping together &#8211; by hand &#8211; celery, onion and carrot, and the sauce needs to <strong>slowly simmer on the stovetop for at least three hours<\/strong>. Wonderful stuff no doubt, but in my case more of an aspiration than a doable recipe since it was raining out and I had very few of these ingredients on hand.<\/p>\n<h3>Easy Italian Recipes: Saffron is the Secret<\/h3>\n<p>Lucky for me, Italy is made up of<strong> 20 regions<\/strong> and every one of them boasts their own version of a rich meat or fish sauce meant to be served on top of pasta. I looked to sunny Sardinia for this satisfying sausage and saffron sauce that has only eight main ingredients and <strong>takes about an hour to make, from start to finish<\/strong>. Source of the recipe is \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Sardinian-Cookbook-Cooking-Mediterranean\/dp\/1572841478\">The Sardinian Cookbook: The Cooking and Culture of am Mediterranean Island<\/a>,\u201d an island renowned for its saffron fields (a saffron festival is held in the little town of Turri in south-central Sardinia every year on the 2nd <span data-term=\"goog_1007207773\">Sunday<\/span> in November). <strong>Saffron <\/strong>has a unique aroma and flavor that cannot be duplicated and it is the secret to this sauce.<\/p>\n<p>To be true to the Sardinian origins of this recipe, it should be used over <em>gnocchetti sardi<\/em> \u2013 in Sardo dialect the pasta is called &#8216;<em>malloreddus<\/em>&#8216; \u2013 however, my local market in Florence doesn\u2019t carry this particular pasta shape. Chunky and concave with a ribbed back, <em>gnocchetti sardi<\/em> also take longer to cook than normal pasta so <strong>any good quality, short pasta imported from Italy will do<\/strong>; just make sure it has ridges and whorls to capture as much sauce as possible. <em>Mezzi rigatoni <\/em>are\u00a0a perfect match since the meaty sauce will fill up the large hole in the middle, providing a <strong>satisfying mouthful<\/strong> of the combined sauce and pasta in every bite. In fact, there\u2019s a pan of saffron and sausage sauce bubbling away on my stovetop right now, permeating my house with its wonderful aroma \u2013 I can hardly wait for dinnertime!<\/p>\n<h3>Recipe for Short Pasta with Sausage and Saffron Sauce<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ingredients for 4 servings<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a01 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a02-3 big links Italian sausage; about 8 ounces<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00bd medium onion, chopped<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a02 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00bc teaspoons powdered saffron, dissolved in 1 tablespoon warm water<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a01 (28-ounce) can whole plum tomatoes, preferably San Marzano<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00bd teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon sea salt, divided<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Freshly ground black pepper, to taste<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00bd cup freshly grated <em>pecorino<\/em> cheese, for sprinkling<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00bd pound tubular dried pasta such <em>as mezzi rigatoni<\/em>, <em>paccheri<\/em> or <em>penne<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium heat.
