Dish of the Day: Orecchiette with Salumi and Bitter Greens at L'Artusi

$Behind the Burner: Dish of the Day: Orecchiette with Salumi and Bitter Greens at L\'Artusi$

With winter upon us and increasing talk of snow flurries in New York, I've been turning to all my favorite comfort foods to stay warm (and, of course, well-insulated). Topping my list of cold-weather favorites is the orecchiette with sausage, salumi and bitter greens at L'Artusi in the West Village.

Headed by Del Posto veteran Chef Gabe Thompson and wine director Joe Campanale, L'Artusi is serving up regional Italian fare with a stellar wine selection to match. This orecchiette dish is a standout though— with subtly spiced sausage, rich salami and a refreshing crunch from the greens, this is a winter wonder not to be missed.

Tip: L'Artusi is now open for brunch! Stop by to sample specialties like cottage cheese pancakes with French toast with poached pears or creamy polenta with eggs.

I haven't had an Italian dish in a while. The photograph makes it look so delicious. Is there a specific sausage that might accompany this better than others?

L'Artusi makes their own sausage in house, but I'm sure any type of Italian sweet sausage would do just fine :)
