FINE EGG NOODLE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, sauté onion and garlic in hot oil until fragrant.
• Add ground beef and sausage. Cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes until cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
• Add in crushed tomatoes and ½ teaspoon of oregano. Simmer for 20 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper. Adjust according to preferred taste and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and remaining 1 tablespoon of oregano. Season it with salt and pepper.
• Spread a spoonful of the cheese mixture at the bottom of a greased baking dish. Then, layer the noodles, cheese mix, meat, and tomato sauce.
• Top the final noodles with sauce and extra mozzarella.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
• Serve while hot to family and friends. Enjoy your lasagna meal!

Steps:

• Place the chicken, celery, carrots, onions, parsnip (if using), parsley, peppercorns, bay leaves and salt in a large soup pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to very low. Adjust the heat until the soup is “smiling”: barely moving on the surface, with an occasional bubble breaking through. Cook uncovered, until the chicken is very tender and falling off the bone, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• When cool enough to handle, use tongs to transfer chicken from the pot to a container. Taste the broth and continue to simmer it until it is concentrated and tasty. Strain broth through a fine sieve (or a colander lined with cheesecloth) into a separate container. Discard all the solids from the strainer (or reserve the vegetables, chill and serve with vinaigrette, if you wish).
• Refrigerate chicken pieces and broth separately for at least 8 hours (or up to 3 days), until a thick layer of yellow fat has risen to the top of the broth.
• When ready to finish the soup, use your fingers to separate chicken breast meat from bones and skin. Discard bones and skin. Use two forks to pull the breast meat apart into soft chunks, or use a knife and cut into bite-size pieces. (Reserve dark meat for another use.)
• Skim chicken fat from top of broth and set aside. Place 3 tablespoons of the fat in a soup pot with a lid. Add leeks, stir to coat, and heat over medium heat until leeks begin to fry. Then reduce the heat to a gentle sizzle and cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add carrots, sprinkle with salt, stir, and cover the pot. Cook until vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes more. (Keep in mind that vegetables will continue to cook in the soup.) Do not brown.
• Pour broth into pot with vegetables and heat to a simmer. Add noodles and simmer until heated through, soft and plumped with chicken broth. Add the breast meat, then taste broth and add salt and pepper to taste. For best flavor, soup should have some golden droplets of fat on top; if needed, add more chicken fat one teaspoon at a time.
• Serve immediately, in a tureen or from the pot, sprinkling each serving with herbs.
