Step-by-Step Instructions for Pasta Alla Zozzona
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks with the freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Set aside.
- Fill a large pot with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook the short pasta until al dente, about 11 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and cook pancetta until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towel.
- In the same skillet, add Italian sausage. Cook and break into pieces until browned, about 7 minutes.
- Add shallots, garlic, and kosher salt to the sausage. Cook until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in the tomato passata and add Calabrian chili paste. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain pasta and add to the skillet with the sauce.
- Gently toss pasta with sauce, adding reserved pasta water until desired consistency is achieved.
- Temper the egg mixture with hot pasta water, then quickly stir into the skillet off the heat.
- Serve immediately, topped with extra Pecorino Romano cheese.

Notes
