1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and the casarecce pasta, and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
2
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the sweet Italian sausage and brown for about 7-8 minutes, making sure to break up the meat with a spoon.
3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
4
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine and reduce heat to low, letting it simmer while the pasta cooks.
5
Meanwhile, in a separate small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until browned and crispy, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried sage leaves to a paper towel, and reserve the brown butter.
6
In a large bowl, combine the fresh ricotta, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely chopped parsley, white pepper and freshly grated nutmeg. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
7
Stir in the cooked pasta, reserved pasta cooking water, browned sausage, and browned butter into the cheese mixture until well combined.
8
Serve the pasta in a platter or divide among serving bowls, topping each portion with crispy sage leaves.
