1
Set a large pot of lightly salted water on high heat and bring to a boil for the pasta.
2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sweet Italian sausage and fennel seeds and sauté until lightly browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon, around 7 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic into the skillet, stirring it into the sausage and cook for additional minute.
4
Pour in the white wine to the skillet, stirring to deglaze the pan. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer to meld the flavors.
5
In the boiling pot of water, add the casarecce pasta. Cook it until al dente, following package directions.
6
Meanwhile, melt the unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add fresh sage leaves and fry until crispy, around 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried sage onto a paper towel. Reserve the brown butter.
7
Before draining the pasta, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
8
In the skillet with sausage, stir in the ricotta cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano, chopped parsley, ground white pepper, and ground nutmeg until well blended.
9
Add the drained pasta to the sausage-cheese mixture, along with the reserved pasta water and browned butter. Toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well-coated.
10
Serve the pasta warm in shallow bowls. Sprinkle the fried sage leaves over the top as a fragrant garnish before serving.
