Salumi soffritos have been an essential element in our pasta preparations. Over the years we have used salumi as an ingredient. I finally integrated the cured meat into a fresh sausage. I am working on a few varieties. The first is kielbasa sausage. The cured, smoked and cooked sausage is a flavorful inclusion to the pork shoulder. The end result is the best of both ideas: fresh and cured.
