Longanisang Lucban Pasta Recipe

Longganisang Lucban is a famous sausage from Lucban, Quezon. It is typically garlicky and slightly sour in taste. A piece of the sausage is all you need for a cup of rice as it is so tasty. You can still smell this when you burp. Hehehe!

The Lucban Longganisa is typically paired with garlic rice, sunny side-up eggs and tomatoes on the side or atchara (pickled garnish famous in the Philippines), a native vinegar with garlic and pepper can be prepared as complementary condiment.

But I’ve decided to make something different. I wanted to try the processed meat of longganisang lucban for my pasta instead of using ground pork and use olive oil instead of tomato sauce.

Try this simple recipe, I know you’ll gonna love this especially if you are a longganisa lover!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 kg spaghetti
• 12 pcs longanisang lucban
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• salt pepper and Parmesan to taste

Procedure:

• Cook spaghetti according to the package
• Make a horizontal cut on the longganisa, making sure that it’s just deep enough to open it flat and not slice it into half
• Pour a cup of water into the pan, put the longanisang lucban and let simmer until it’s red oil and meat comes off the skin
• Remove the skin when water has evaporated and fry/roast the meat using its own oil
• When the longanisa meat is slightly roasted, add two tablespoons of olive oil and mix in the cooked pasta.
• Add salt pepper and Parmesan to taste and serve
