Pappardelle is a wide ribbon pasta which works very well with hearty sauces like this. Any pasta will work, but I love this for a change to our every day pasta choices. I have in the past used broccoli rabe sausage usually found in speciality Italian markets. This will take it to a whole new level. Have a nice bottle of wine ready, and a loaf of crunchy Italian bread. I promise you won't be disappointed, it is bursting with flavor!
