This recipe has somewhat become a modern classic in Luxembourg. I initially created it as a little nod to an Italian-American favourite: pasta with meatballs. But with Luxembourgish flavours.

It went completely viral when I cooked it on RTL television during lockdown and it adorns the cover of my cookbook “Flavours of Home”. I think by now most people living in Luxembourg will have cooked this pasta, it’s really such an iconic simple dish that fully represents the flavours of our country.

Wäinzoossiss is a typical Luxembourg pork and beef sausage that’s traditionally served with a creamy mustard and wine sauce and a side of potato mash. For this pasta dish, I’ve deconstructed the sausage into little meatballs and am serving them with a mustard cream spaghetti sauce.

So, you’ll find all the typical flavours associated with Wäinzoossiss in this pasta dish. I hope you like it as much as I do!
