For the ricotta cream: In a bowl, add the ricotta, 2 tablespoons of oil and stir the ricotta until smooth and creamy. When the pasta is almost cooked, remove the tomatoes from the oven and mash them with a potato masher or a large fork. To cook the lentils, put 2-3 tablespoons of the oil into a good-sized saucepan (and one which has a lid that fits) on the heat and when it's warm add the chopped onion. Sprinkle with salt (which helps prevents it browning) and cook over a low to medium heat till soft (about 5 minutes). Add the lentils, stir well and then cover generously with cold water. Bring to the boil, then cover and let simmer gently for half an hour or so until cooked and most, if not all, the liquid's absorbed. I don't add salt at this stage since the sauce provided by the sausages later (and which will be poured over the lentils) will be pretty salty itself. So, wait and taste. And remember, you can of course cook the lentils in advance.

Preheat oven to 392°F (180°C). Add tomatoes & oil to an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with salt & pepper. Toss & roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Once the cooking is over, the bag must be removed from the water, opened with scissors to eliminate the remaining fat. This must be done with care because the bag will be boiling, and once opened; it will release a lot of steam, very hot. Cook the precooked cotechino in boiling water for 30/40 minutes without puncturing the vacuum bag. Once cooled, crumble it with your hands and transfer it to a bowl. In Italy, cotechino con lenticchie or cotechino sausage with lentils is served on New Year’s Eve as it symbolises wealth and good fortune for the coming year. Make your own at home using Colfiorito lentils from our market. These lentils are small in size with a beautiful brownish-green colour. When cooked, they remain intact and maintains a good consistency. When eaten, they release hints of chestnut and wood, with very pleasant herbaceous notes.Pour the remaining olive oil into a large pan on a medium heat. Scatter the garlic cloves in the pan. Cook until light brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and discard. Scatter the chilli flakes in the infused oil, increase the heat and immediately place the sausages in the pan. We recommend that you let your imagination run wild for a good combination apart from the classic lentils or mashed potatoes.

Put the garlic in the pan and sauté for a few seconds, then add the parsley and capers and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the cotechino and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes to allow it to take on flavor. To cook: Sausages can be fried, grilled or baked. Cooking times will vary according to the type of sausage but all sausages should be cooked thoroughly until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork and there is no pink meat. Do not reheat cooked sausages once cooled. Cool any leftovers to room temperature, refrigerate within 2 hours and consume within 2 days. To grill sausages, preheat the grill to medium, place the sausages on the grill pan and cook for 6-12 minutes, until thoroughly cooked, turning every few minutes.

What to accompany precooked cotechino with?

Fresh basil (OPTIONAL) - to top it all off. It can be left out or replaced with other herbs of choice. Regardless, when you are done hanging them, you will need to cook your sausages. Cotechino is gently poached in salty water for about an hour. And when I mean gently, I mean it. You want 160°F, which is steaming water, not simmering. This sets everything nicely. Anyway, when either the lentils are nearly ready or you're about to reheat them, put a heavy-based frying pan on the hob, cover with a film of oil and add the bruised garlic. Cook for a few minutes then add and brown the sausages. When the sausages are brown on both sides — which won't take more than 5 minutes or so — throw in the wine and water and let bubble up. Cover the pan, either with a lid or tin foil, and cook for about 15 minutes. Using a fork, mash the now-soft garlic into the sauce and taste for seasoning, adding a little more water if it's too strong.

The most classic version in the crust to the most complex version, used in risotto, to a sandwich that will satisfy even the youngest guests. Cotechino in spinach crust Ingredients for 4 people: Once cooked, if there are leftovers (but we’re sure there won’t be!), the cotechino can be stored for a day in the refrigerator, on a plate tightly wrapped with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.For the pumpkin: Remove the pumpkin’s skin and slice it very thinly. Place it in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of Evo oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Leave to marinate for a few minutes. This gorgeous pasta has been on our weekly meal plan almost every single week for the past couple of years - I am NOT exaggerating, it's that good! Jump to: Jacob, London-born and Cambridge educated so hardly a peasant, also crafts his Cotechino from scratch. Caveats here include the necessity of sourcing skin-on pig’s cheeks. Worth it because “lots of glands and gnarly bits in the jowl give an incredible roundness of flavour”. Pigskin is tough, used for making shoes, so Jacob advises it might be worth asking your already obliging butcher to mince meat and skin together through a 4.5mm plate. When the spiced mince mixture is finally encased there’s a lot of sausage hanging to be done.
