• Italian sausages — Look for high-quality Italian sausages made with a blend of pork and traditional Italian spices. If you prefer a milder flavor, choose sweet Italian sausages instead of spicy ones.

Tips & Tricks

• For extra flavor, you can marinate the sausages in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and Italian herbs for a few hours before cooking.
• Feel free to customize the roasted vegetables according to your preference. You can add other vegetables like eggplant or mushrooms for variety.
• Serve the Salsiccia di Verduno with crusty Italian bread or a side of creamy polenta for a complete meal.

Serving advice

Serve the Salsiccia di Verduno with the roasted vegetables on a platter or individual plates. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a pop of color and freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sausages on top of the roasted vegetables, allowing the vibrant colors of the vegetables to shine through. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the dish for a glossy finish.
