Nonnas Pasta With Eggs Pecorino And Sage Recipes

Steps:

• Place the peppercorns in a mortar and pestle and crush them until you have a mixture of coarse and fine bits. (You can also grind them in a small food mill or coffee grinder.) Set aside.
• Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package until al dente. Ladle 1 cup of the pasta cooking water into a glass measuring cup and reserve it. Drain the pasta quickly in a colander and return the pasta to the pot with a lot of the pasta water still dripping.
• Working quickly, with the heat on very low, toss the pasta with 1/2 cup of the grated Pecorino, the crushed peppercorns, cream, butter, parsley, and 1 teaspoon salt, tossing constantly. If the pasta seems dry, add some of the reserved cooking water. Off the heat, toss in the remaining 1/2 cup Pecorino. Serve immediately with a big bowl of extra grated Pecorino for sprinkling.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Chop onion, garlic and sage together until fairly fine. Generously film a 12-inch sauté pan with olive oil, and set over medium heat. Stir in onion mixture, and sprinkle with red pepper, salt and black pepper. Sauté until wilted, about 3 or 4 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and cover.
• Drop pasta in boiling water. Cook, stirring often, until slightly underdone.
• Scoop out about 1 cup of pasta water and reserve. As pasta gets close to being done, put the sauté pan over medium-low heat. Once it is warmed up, break the eggs into the pan, and cook a few minutes, until white is barely opaque.
• Meanwhile, drain pasta in colander. Turn into pan with eggs, and toss for a few minutes over medium-low heat until the eggs cling to the pasta. Add a little reserved pasta water to loosen it up, if necessary. Taste for seasoning; be generous with black pepper. Serve in heated bowls, passing cheese at the table.

Steps:

• Using a nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron pan, heat the pancetta over medium. Let cook, shaking the pan, until the fat renders out and the pancetta browns all over, 3 to 10 minutes, depending on how large the cubes are.
• If the pan looks oily, pour (or spoon) off any excess grease. Add butter to the pan and let melt. Reduce heat to low.
• Beat the eggs and salt in a medium bowl until well mixed but not frothy. Pour into the skillet with the pancetta and, using a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, scramble the eggs until they are just set, 2 to 4 minutes. Take care that the eggs don't brown, lowering the heat further if necessary.
• Divide the eggs onto two plates and shower pepper generously over the top. Sprinkle with cheese and serve at once.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Cook pasta until it is tender, but not quite done.
• Meanwhile, place butter in a skillet or saucepan large enough to hold the cooked pasta; turn heat to medium, and add sage. Cook until butter turns nut-brown and sage shrivels, then turn heat to a minimum.
• When the pasta is just about done, scoop out a cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta. Immediately add it to the butter-sage mixture, and raise heat to medium. Add 3/4 cup of the water, and stir; the mixture will be loose and a little soupy. Cook for about 30 seconds, or until some of the water is absorbed and the pasta is perfectly done.
• Stir in cheese; the sauce will become creamy. Thin it with a little more water if necessary. Season liberally with pepper and salt to taste, and serve immediately, passing more cheese at the table if you like.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
• Put meat on a baking tray and bake, until juices run clear, about 20 minutes Process the carrot and onion together in a food processor, till smooth.
• Fry garlic in oil in a large saucepan, add the carrot and onion and bay leaf, fry for 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and wine, bring to a boil.
• Lower heat to simmer and add the cooked meat, leaving whole.
• Add spices.
• Let simmer 2hrs on low.
• Serve over pasta.
• Top with freshly grated Parm cheese. When the sauce is ready to serve take the meat out and put on a serving dish and pass with the sauce.......the meat will be melt in your mouth good!!
