THE RECIPE BOOK

This week our chef Lamberto has selected the most classical recipe of the cuisine tradition of the Marche region, i.e. the Vincisgrassi, a very tasteful dish which is very similar to the lasagne. The recipe was sent by Mrs. Aida Antonangeli from Jesi, near Ancona.

Vincisgrassi

Ingredients - quantity for 4-6 people

For the pasta:
400 g flour salt
4 eggs
For the sauce:
70 g bacon, finely chopped dry white wine
40 g butter one tablespoon of tomato purée, diluted in one ladle water
one onion milk
one carrot salt
150 g chicken giblets, diced béchamel
150 g brain and spinal marrow oil
100 g sweetbread Parmesan cheese
Preparation:

Melt the butter in a saucepan and brown the bacon. Add the onion and cut the carrot into two. Remove the vegetables and add the chicken giblets (except from the liver).
Sprinkle with the wine, and as soon as it evaporates add the tomato purée. Season to taste with salt and pepper and simmer sprinkling now and then with little milk.

Add the brain, spinal marrow and sweetbread shortly boiled, without peel and chopped. Season to taste with salt.   After about ten minutes add the liver chopped, season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.

Meanwhile prepare the pasta, cutting it into lasagne slices. Boil and drain them and put them on a cloth.

Prepare the béchamel.

Grease an ovenproof dish. Spoon alternate layers of lasagne, sauce, béchamel, grated cheese and a few flakes of butter. Leave for a few hours, then bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes.

When it is brown on top, remove from the oven, sprinkle with butter and serve.
