Menu from val d'aosta
"Pasta con porcini e salamella"
Numerous google hits tell me it's a valdostan delicacy, but I need to know,in the most general terms, what it is.
Fossilised tree bark in goose pimple marinade?
Other suggestions?

salamella sausage
A kind of pork sausage in ram's intestines (according to Wikipedia, see below).
A few English-language websites refer to "salamella sausage" (see second reference or google "salamella sausage").

Taking the minimalistic approach, on the basis that menus/dishes generally lose a lot in translation, something like:
"Pasta with porcini and salamella (sausage)"
would almost certainly suffice, particularly given that "porcini" can be found in a (good) English dictionary and may well be familiar to a semi-gourmet reader anyway.

Salamella (sausage rolled in pancetta)
Salamelle is made with the same ingredients as cotechino, substituting pancetta for pigskin and white for red wine. The meat is ground coarsely and sometimes flavored with garlic. Salamelle are generally split and grilled.

Dear Alexander:
I'm prone to think that the kind of sausage used is a "fresh" type, and not a salami.
I think it would be better to call the client and ask: the term must indicate some type of local sausage, while "salamella" is used to indicate a wide variety of products.

Alexander, sorry for posting again.
It just came into my mind that the "salamella" they are referring to in the text, if it is from Val D'Aosta, might be called by locals "boudin".

Doubt
The reason that you are unable to find a precise reference for 'salamelle' is that there isn't one relating to Valle d'Aosta.
If you visit the official website of the Val d'Aosta regional authority (http://www.regione.vda.it/turismo/enogastronomia/salumi/saou... you won't find a single reference to 'salamelle', but to 'saouseusse' only. Salamelle are not typical of Valle d'Aosta, as you can find Mantuan, Roman, Neapolitan versions.
So, is the menu referring to an untypical sausage here or a traditional product? This is the question.
Agree with the second note posted by Milena. Cheers, Barbara

If the document you are translating is not strictly food-related but has Italian/French menu items or recipes in it, then why not leave 'salamella', as Laura suggested? After all, from what I understand from the original, what you have been served here is a pasta dish with a mushroom and meat sauce, so you won't be able to detect the shape or the ingredients of the salamella. Is like pasta with salsiccia, basically, for which you would only use what's inside the casing.
Bonne chance, anyway. Barbara

from the website of a Valle d'Aosta manufacturer, the product is referred to as "Salamella" also in the English section:
La Salamella XXX nasce dalla macina della carne di maiale con spezie e erbe aromatiche inserite in un budello naturale.
Da consumarsi sempre previa cottura, ... è anche un ottimo ingrediente per sughi e gustose lasagne.
The Salamella xxx comes from a careful blending of pork, spices and aromatic herbs encased in natural pig gut casings. ... it can also be used to prepare tomato sauces or typical Italian Lasagne.
