Luganega (also luganiga, luganica or lucanica) is an Italian fresh sausage made with pork; it is a traditional food from Lombardy, Veneto and northern Italy and is usually rolled up to appear like a snail.[1]
Luganega is part of the risotto alla monzese (Monza-style risotto), a variant of risotto alla milanese, can be used in barbecues or in rich stews together with mushrooms or potatoes.[2][3] As with many Italian sausages, the main difference between Luganega and an American style sausage is often that Italian style style Luganega have a deeper flavor through its rich fennel seasoning.
It has a few variations: in the richest one pork is united with Grana Padano, Marsala wine and broth.[4]
