Directions

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk flour into the melted butter until dissolved, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper. Pour milk into the flour mixture, cook and stir until sauce is smooth and thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl.

  3. Remove sauce from heat and stir in egg yolks and nutmeg until well incorporated. Pour sauce over pasta, toss to coat.

  4. Cook and stir sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir sausage into pasta, season with salt and white pepper.

Recipe Note

This is a classic Italian dish made easy and filling with the addition of precooked sausage. Fresh nutmeg makes a big difference in the recipe. If you get the chance, try it with fresh!
