RAGU BOLOGNESE

The Journal of Italian Food Wine & Travel once wrote about Daniel Bellino and his famed Ragu Bolognese, "Daniel makes the best Ragu Bolognese in the country. We just love it." Journal of Italian Food Wine & Travel - May 1998 .. We agree. It delicious. Daniel told us, he agonised over whether he should publish his famous recipe for Ragu Bolognese for some time, but finally relented in 2015, when he wrote and published his bestselling cookbook - The Ragu Bolognese Cookbook.

Daniel says that the dish is not hard to make, once you learn how to make it, but you do have to learn. And that's just what his book The Ragu Bolognese Cookbook does. It teaches you the proper way to execute his wonderful recipe for Ragu Bolognese. And when you do, you can make the World's most delicious pasta - Pasta Bolognese, no matter the pasta. In Bologna where the dish originates from. The Bolognese recommend homemade tagliatelle pasta. In fact they insist on it. But we can get around this. As long as you have a delicious, properly made ragu, you can pair it with almost any pasta, including the very famous match of Spaghetti Bolognese. Regardless of what the Bolognese might say, it really  is a tasty match. People have proven this by the millions. Ragu Bolognese is also quite wonderful when it dresses Rigatoni, Cavatappi, or Fussilli past. The key is the properly made Bolognese sauce, made with Daniel Bellino's recipe from The Ragu Bolognese Cookbook, which also includes many other recipes, including : Lasagna, Marinara, Tomato Sauce, and much more. It's really a wonderful cookbook, and sure to please.

VEAL MILANES RECIPE alla SINATRA

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups Bread Crumbs (Plain)
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
• 
  
• 1/4 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
• 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 4 veal cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds), pounded thin to slightly less than 1/4 inch
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges

DIRECTIONS 

Break or cut the bread into large chunks and place in a food processor. Process until the bread is reduced into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs into a large bowl and stir in the cheese, oregano and parsley. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of oil, stirring until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread the flour onto a large plate, plate the eggs in a shallow bowl and spread the seasoned bread crumbs on a second large plate. Coat each veal cutlet in the flour, then the beaten eggs and then the bread crumbs, patting with the palm of your hand to ensure adhesion.

Heat 1 cup of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high flame (to a frying temperature of 350 degrees F.) and sauté the veal for 2 minutes. Turn and sauté for 1 additional minute. Do not crowd the pan. If necessary, fry the cutlets in batches. Remove with a slotted spatula and drain on paper towels. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with lemon wedges.

2 j- 32 oz. jars of Italian Tomato Passata (we like Mutti)
3 cloves Garlic, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp. Tomato Paste

12 fresh Basil Leaves, washed and torn with your hands
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 pound of imported Italian Spaghetti (best quality)

In a large skillet, add the Olive Oil and onion. Cook the onion on low heat for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook on low heat for 2 minutes.

Add the wine, turn heat to high, and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the Tomatoes, Tomato Paste. Add 1 1/2 teaspoon each of Salt & ground Black Pepper, and half of the Pecorino Cheese.

Bring to the boil. Once the tomatoes start to bubble, low heat to low, and cook on low heat for 20 minutes, being sure to stir with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pot with the wooden spoon to keep the tomatoes from sticking  or burning.

After 20 minutes, add the Basil & Parsley, and cook 5 minutes more. The Tomato Sauce is done. Turn the heat off and let it rest in the pot.

Fill a large pot, 3/4 full with water. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring the water to a rapid boil. Add the Spaghetti.

Cook the spaghetti according to the directions on the package. Two minutes before the the pasta cooking time on package, remove one cup of water from the pot and reserve. When the spaghetti is 1 minute away from the cooking time on package, turn the heat off and drain the pasta in a colander.

Add the Spaghetti back to the pot it cooked in and add half of the cooking water. Add 2 cups of the tomato sauce. to the pot, and turn the heat on to a low flame. Cook for 2 minutes on a low flame. Add more of the pasta cooking water if it gets too dry.

Turn the heat off, and drizzle some olive oil over the spaghetti and mix.

Plate a portion of Spaghetti onto each persons plate. Add about half a cup of Tomato Sauce on top of each portion of Spaghetti, and serve.

Serve with grated Pecorino or Parmigiana Cheese on the side.
