Veal Shank Pasta Sauce Recipe 45

VEAL SHANKS WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In large, deep skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat, and saute the onions, carrots, leeks and celery for about 10 minutes, or until they are soft but not browned. Remove skillet from heat.
• In a separate skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Dredge the veal shanks in flour, and shake off excess. Brown them a few minutes on each side. Remove shanks and place them in the first skillet over the vegetables.
• Deglaze the empty browning skillet with white wine, and then reduce liquid by half. Pour this over the shanks. Put the skillet containing veal shanks back over the heat, and add remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Bring liquid to a boil; let it boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Then test the meat; it should be tender.
• In a deep pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until done, 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness. Drain.
• Remove meat from the skillet, and keep it warm. Turn up heat, and reduce cooking liquid until it is fairly thick. Remove bay leaf, parsley sprigs, lemon strip and thyme sprigs. Pour sauce into a blender, and mix at low speed at first. Taste for seasoning. Then blend at high speed for about 10 seconds. Serve veal shanks with noodles on the side; pour sauce over both.

VEAL SHANK PASTA SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Place the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. After a minute, add the chilies and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the veal shank, and raise the heat to medium high; cook, turning as necessary, until the meat is nicely browned, 10 minutes or more. When the meat is just about done, add the garlic, salt and pepper. 2. When the garlic has softened a bit, crush tomatoes and add them, with their juice. Turn the heat to medium-low to maintain a steady simmer. If you are using a broad pot, cover it partially. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and just about falling off the bone, at least 1 hour. 3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook the pasta until it is tender but firm. Remove the veal shank, chop it coarsely, scoop out any marrow and return the meat to the sauce (discard the bone). Remove and discard the chilies. 4. Drain and sauce the pasta; sprinkle it with the herb, toss, and serve.

SIMPLE VEAL PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• If you are using fresh tomatoes, peel them by dipping them in boiling water for 1 minute, then squeeze off their skin. Halve the tomatoes, scoop out their seeds without squeezing, and chop up coarsely.
• Put 2 tablespoons of butter and the vegetable oil in a small saucepan and turn on the heat to medium high. Cook the onion, stirring from time to time, until it becomes colored a pale gold.
• Add the ground veal, and turn it over several times, using a wooden spoon, to brown it all over.
• Add the cut-up tomato, salt, and several grindings of pepper, and with your wooden spoon turn over all ingredients two or three times. Cook at a steady but gentle simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Cook and drain the pasta and toss it immediately and thoroughly with the sauce, swirling into it the remaining tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan.
