Rigatoni With Ground Veal And Sage Recipes

VEAL AND SAGE MEATBALLS AND PASTA WITH GORGONZOLA-WALNUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place water on to boil for pasta. When it comes to a boil, salt the water and cook pasta to al dente. Drain.
• While pasta is working, place veal in a mixing bowl and add to it the egg, garlic, sage, bread crumbs, cheese, nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil into the bowl, mix and roll small 1-inch balls. Arrange balls in a single layer on a nonstick cookie sheet and bake 8 to 10 minutes in a hot oven until meat is golden and firm.
• Toast the walnuts and place them into a food processor. Grind the walnuts and reserve.
• In a deep skillet over medium heat melt butter. Whisk flour into butter and cook a minute then whisk in wine and reduce by half. Whisk in stock, when it bubbles and begins to reduce, stir in the cream and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer to thicken the sauce a bit, 2 to 3 minutes, melt in the Gorgonzola and stir in the ground walnuts then season the sauce with pepper, to taste, and maybe a pinch of salt.
• Shred the greens into thin strips.
• Toss the pasta with the sauce. Serve pasta garnished and topped with a generous mound of greens to mix in as you are eating.

PORK LOIN WITH PROSCIUTTO, FONTINA, AND SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, combine panko, fontina, and sage. Stand roast on end and insert thin-bladed knife down center of loin to make 2-inch opening all the way through. Use your fingers to force the slit into a long 1-inch-diameter hole. Pack panko mixture into hole, working from both ends of roast. Season roast on all sides with salt and pepper.
• Place roast, fat side up, on work surface. Arrange prosciutto slices across top of roast. Tie with kitchen twine at 1- to 1 1/2-inch intervals. Place in shallow roasting pan, prosciutto side up, and roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
• Remove roast from oven and let rest 10 minutes. Remove twine. Slice roast and arrange on serving platter. Serve drizzled with any pan juices.

SAUSAGE WITH APPLE AND SAGE

Steps:

• Slice the pork sausage into 1/4-inch/1/2 cm-inch slices on the bias. Cut the apple into 24 cubes. Heat the oil in a saute pan and fry the sausage slices on both sides until golden brown, remove to a platter. Wash the pan before melting the butter in the pan for the apples. Add the sugar, and fry the apple cubes, tossing occasionally, until golden on all sides. Add a little more oil to the pan, if needed, and fry the sage leaves until slightly crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Lay a fried sage leaf on each sausage slice. Top with a cube of sauteed apple. Pierce with a toothpick and serve.

VEAL WITH MUSHROOMS & RIGATONI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, heavy, non-stick pot over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
• Add the veal and brown well, turning as needed.
• When browned, push it to the edges of the pot (creating a fairly clear space in the center of the pot).
• Reduce heat to low.
• Add the onions, mushrooms, garlic and wine, stirring them together in the cleared space.
• Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
• Add the broth and bring mixture to a simmer.
• Cover and cook over low heat for approximately 45 minutes or until the veal is fork-tender.
• Add the rigatoni to the pot.
• Cover and cook for another 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender.
• Season to taste with the salt and pepper.
• Enjoy!

RIGATONI WITH GROUND VEAL AND SAGE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. While the water is heating, heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and ground veal and cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up any lumps, for 10 minutes or until the veal begins to lose its pink color. Add the bell peppers and scallions, and saute for 2 minutes. Then stir in the stock, mushrooms, sage, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, add the rigatoni to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions until it is tender. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a warmed serving bowl. Remove the skillet from the heat and discard the bay leaves. Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta and toss together. Serve immediately.;
