Calamari noodles with salsiccia sauce

Remove the skins from the sausages. Mash the sausage meat with a fork and fry briefly but vigorously in a little olive oil. Remove the sausage meat from the pan and set aside. Brown the carrots until very brown, add the onions, tomatoes and garlic and fry. Deglaze with the wine and let it evaporate. Deglaze with the stock and reduce by half. Add the cream and a knob of butter, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce has reached a slightly creamier consistency. Add the sausage meat and let it simmer for a few minutes. Season to taste. Meanwhile, cook the calamarata pasta in the brine according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta, making sure that some of the cooking water remains in the pot. Toss with half of the sauce. Arrange on plates, spoon the other half of the sauce on top and serve sprinkled generously with Parmesan.
