Italian Cooking Recipes for Macaroni
ITALIAN PASTA RECIPES - MACARONI WITH TOMATO SAUCE (Maccheroni al Sugo)
8
cups water
3/4 pound of macaroni
3/4 pound of macaroni
Boil
the water until it makes big bubbles. Add salt, then break the macaroni
and put it in. Cover the saucepan and boil for fifteen minutes. The
saucepan should not be too small, otherwise the macaroni will stick to
the bottom.
Prepare the sauce as follows:
Take
a good slice of ham fat, and chop very fine with it a piece of onion, a
piece of celery, and some parsley. Then put this into a frying-pan and
cook until the grease is colored. (If desired, add a small lump of
butter.) When well colored add two tablespoons of tomato paste
dissolved in a little hot water. Boil all together for fifteen minutes.
Drain the macaroni, and put it into the frying-pan with the sauce, mix well with fork and spoon over the fire, so that the macaroni will be thoroughly seasoned, then add three tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, mix again, and serve.
If no tomato paste is available make the tomato sauce as follows:
Chop up fine one-quarter of an onion, a piece of celery the length of a finger, two or three basil-leaves, and a small bunch of parsley. Slice seven or eight tomatoes (fresh or canned), add salt and pepper, and put all on together to cook in four tablespoons of good olive-oil. Stir occasionally, and when it becomes as thick as cream, strain, and add the macaroni as before directed.
Drain the macaroni, and put it into the frying-pan with the sauce, mix well with fork and spoon over the fire, so that the macaroni will be thoroughly seasoned, then add three tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, mix again, and serve.

sauce as in preceding.) Boil
all together for five minutes, with cover on the saucepan, then add one
cup of boiling water, and allow it to simmer until the meat is
thoroughly cooked--about one-half an hour. Boil and strain the macaroni
as before, and pour over it the sauce from the meat. Mix well, and
serve with the meat in the middle and the macaroni around it, with
cheese (grated Parmesan) sprinkled over it.
This dish can be made

ITALIAN PASTA RECIPES - RIBBON MACARONI (Pasta fatta in Casa. Fettuccini)
2 1/2 cups of
flour
2 eggs
3 tablespoons of cold water
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
3 tablespoons of cold water
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Put
the flour on a bread-board. Make a hole in the middle of it, and break

a fork until the flour is all absorbed and you have a paste which you
can roll out.

Then double it over a number of times, always lengthwise, and cut it across in strips about one-half inch wide. Boil two quarts of salted water, and put the ribbons into it, and cook for ten minutes, then drain.
Serve with the meat and sauce as in the recipe for Macaroni with Meat and Sauce, or with the tomato sauce and cheese only, as desired.

Pour over this some thick tomato sauce (one tablespoon of tomato paste cooked in two tablespoons of olive-oil). Then put in the smelts cut in two, some anchovy, a few capers, and three or four ripe olives chopped up with one mushroom.
Then add the rest of the tomato sauce, then the other half of the vermicelli, and on top a layer of bread crumbs. Season all well with salt and pepper. Put the pan into a moderate oven, and cook about an hour and a quarter, adding a little olive-oil when necessary, so that it will not dry up too much.
Any fish may be used instead of the smelts, cutting it into thin strips.
