Treat your ingredients with care...
- Lombard sausages — If you can't find luganega or cotechino sausages, you can substitute them with other flavorful Lombard sausages like salsiccia or salamella.
- Vermicelli or angel hair pasta — Be careful not to overcook the pasta, as it should be al dente to maintain its texture in the dish.
- Dried oregano and thyme — If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can use fresh herbs instead of dried ones. Simply double the amount of fresh herbs.
Tips & Tricks
- For a seafood twist, you can add some Lombard freshwater fish, such as perch or pike, to the dish.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sautéed vegetables.
- Serve the Fideuà Lombarda with a side of fresh salad dressed with a light vinaigrette to complement the flavors.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day, as the flavors tend to meld together even more.
Serving advice
Serve the Fideuà Lombarda hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Accompany it with a slice of crusty Lombard bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
Presentation advice
Present the Fideuà Lombarda in a large serving dish, allowing the vibrant colors of the sausages and vegetables to shine through. Sprinkle some additional chopped parsley on top for an added touch of freshness.
