Pasta Milanese Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and dry chicken breasts.
• Mix garlic powder, salt, and pepper and sprinkle on chicken.
• Grill chicken on the stove top in a skillet or outside on the barbecue grill, until it is done all the way through.
• Set chicken aside.
• Place pasta in salted boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain.
• Meanwhile saute the mushrooms and tomatoes in butter until soft.
• Place heavy cream, roasted garlic, pepper, salt, and parmesan cheese in food processsor and puree.
• Place cream mixture in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
• Mix in mushrooms and tomatoes and add to the cooked pasta.
• Slice the grilled chicken and place on top of the pasta.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese.
• Serve with salad and garlic bread.

Steps:

• Set a large pot of heavily salted water over high heat, and allow it to come to a boil.
• Add the pasta to the water, and cook it until it is just shy of tender, according to the instructions on the box.
• Meanwhile, put the ham, mushrooms and tomato purée in a small sauté pan, and pour the Madeira over the top. Cook over medium heat until the liquid has reduced to a glaze, the ham is heated through and the mushrooms are beginning to brown. Turn the heat off under the pan, and set aside.
• Reserve a cup of the pasta water, and drain the pasta well. Return the pasta to the pot, then add the cheeses and butter, and stir to combine. Add the seasonings, and stir some more, adding, if necessary, a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen the pasta and help melt the cheeses. Add the mushroom mixture, and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning. Serve with salad, or as a ''garnish'' for roasted or sautéed lamb.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a sheet pan in the oven.
• Dry the fish on both sides with paper towels. Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. In a low, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water. Put the bread crumbs on another plate. Dredge the fish on both sides in the seasoned flour and dust off the excess. Dip both sides into the egg mixture and, finally, dredge both sides in the bread crumbs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and cook 2 fillets at a time over medium to medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer the fish in one layer to the sheet pan in the oven. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the fillets, transferring them to the sheet pan as they're done. Toss the arugula with enough Lemon Vinaigrette to moisten. Place one fillet on each plate and pile the arugula salad on top. Heat the capers in the saute pan for 30 seconds and sprinkle over the fish and salad. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the fleur de sel. Serve hot.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
• Add the minced garlic and cook for about a minute.
• Add tomatoes and 3/4 cup of chicken broth.
• Increase heat to medium and bring mixture to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, for about 10 minutes.
• Add cream and bring to a boil again, stirring frequently.
• Simmer over medium heat until sauce is thick.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of chicken.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet, then add chicken and saute until chicken is no longer pink inside.
• (About 4 minutes each side should do it.) Remove chicken from skillet, drain fat from skillet.
• In the same skillet, stir 1/4 cup chicken broth with the pan juices, and bring to a boil; reduce slightly and add to the cream sauce; stir in basil.
• Serve chicken atop the pasta, coat with the cream sauce.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan, then fry the garlic for a few secs. Add the chopped tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and bubble for about 15-20 mins until the sauce is thick.
• Meanwhile, lay the pork medallions between two layers of cling film and bash with a rolling pin until they are about 1cm thick. Mix the flour with some seasoning in one bowl, put the egg in another and the breadcrumbs in a third. Dip the pork in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Heat a grill to hot, then cook the pork for 3 mins on each side, until golden and cooked through. Keep warm.
• Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Stir through the tomato sauce and the chopped basil, divide the pasta between 4 plates, put the crispy pork on top and eat immediately.
