NONNA'S PIZZELLE RECIPE | ALLRECIPES



Nonna's Pizzelle Recipe | Allrecipes image

My great-grandmother's pizzelle recipe, which my mother has adapted for pizzelle presses or irons (I use a Cuisinart® double pizzelle press). A family must-have at all of our holiday dinners, especially Christmas!

POLPETTE, ITALIAN MEATBALLS – NONNAS WAY



Polpette, Italian Meatballs – Nonnas Way image

Provided by Anna Romano

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound ground veal
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground beef
2 ounces chopped parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil + extra to coat hands
2 tablespoons milk
4 ounces bread crumbs
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Extra olive oil for frying if using this method

Steps:

  • Combine beef, veal and pork and a large bowl
  • Add the other ingredients and mix altogether using your bare hands for best results
  • The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape when rolled into meatballs
  • Coat your hands with olive oil and shape into meatballs to desired size.
  • At this point, you can either brown the meatballs in a frying pan or broil them in the oven which Nonna Francesca prefers to do.
  • To broil them, place the meatballs on a broiler pan and broil until the outside is slightly browned on one side. Then turn them and broil the other side.
  • If you choose to fry them, heat olive oil in a large skillet and fry meatballs in batches.
  • When they are nicely browned, remove them from the heat and drain on a paper towel.
  • Add the browned meatballs to your spaghetti sauce and simmer for 1 hour.

  • Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the tomatoes are nicely charred on top, 45 minutes. Let cool, then blend to your liking with an immersion blender; we like our sauce a bit chunky, but feel free to puree if you choose.

CREAMY SEAFOOD LASAGNE | SEAFOOD RECIPES | JAMIE OLIVER
It’s said that Italians don’t eat cheese and fish together, but I’ve often seen nonnas grating a wodge of Parmesan into a seafood risotto or a pot of pasta. And I thought, if they’re doing it, it must be good!

    1. Make your dough first. Place the flour on a board or in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Beat the egg until smooth, then pour it into the well.
    2. Using the tips of your fingers, gradually mix the egg with the flour until combined. Knead the bits of dough into one smooth lump. You can also do this step in a food processor – just whiz the flour and egg until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Tip onto a work surface and bring together with your hands.
    3. Knead the dough to develop the gluten; this makes your pasta springy instead of flabby when you cook it. There’s no secret to kneading – you just have to bash the dough around a bit with your hands, squashing it into the table, reshaping it, stretching it and squashing it again. Stop when your pasta starts to feel smooth and silky.
    4. Wrap in clingfilm and put in the fridge to rest for at least 30 minutes.
    5. It’s not the end of the world if you haven’t got a pasta machine, just use your rolling pin. The problem you’ll have is getting the pasta thin enough to work with. The way around this is to roll lots of small pieces. You’ll be rolling your pasta into a more circular shape than you’ll get from a machine.
    6. If using a machine, make sure it’s firmly clamped to a clean, long work surface. Dust the surface with flour, then take a lump of dough the size of a large orange and press it out flat with your fingertips.
    7. Set the pasta machine at its widest setting and roll the dough through it. Lightly dust the pasta with flour if it sticks. Click the machine down a setting and roll the dough through again.
    8. Fold the dough in half, click the machine back up to the widest setting and roll it through again. Repeat 5 or 6 times.
    9. Work the dough through all the machine’s settings, from the widest to the narrowest. Lightly dust both sides of the dough with flour every time you run it through. When you reach the narrowest setting, fold the dough in half, then in half again, then once more into a squarish piece of dough.
    10. Turn it 90 degrees and feed it through the machine at the widest setting. As you roll through the settings for the last time, you should get a silky, rectangular sheet of pasta with straight edges.
    11. For the lasagne sheets needed in this recipe, keep rolling the pasta until it’s somewhere between the thickness of a beer mat and a playing card.
    12. Cut the pasta into 6 sheets of 8cm x 30cm, and cut the rest into 8cm x 12cm sheets. It dries faster than you might think, so don’t wait more than a minute or two to cut it. Lay a damp tea towel on top of the pasta to help prevent it drying out.
    13. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
    14. For the béchamel sauce, place the milk and saffron in a saucepan and bring almost to the boil.
    15. In a second pan, melt 75g of the butter. Stir in the flour to make a paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the hot milk to the pan, a ladleful at a time, whisking as you go.
    16. Gently bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until you have a thick, smooth sauce. Finely grate and stir in most of the Parmesan and season well.
    17. Scrub and debeard the mussels, discarding any that remain open when tapped. Halve the sole fillets lengthways, then thinly slice the salmon.
    18. Melt the remaining butter in a large, deep frying pan. Peel, finely slice and fry the garlic over a medium heat for 1 minute, or until golden.
    19. Add the rosemary sprigs and anchovies to the pan and fry for a few more minutes, or until the anchovies have dissolved.
    20. Add the mussels, shake the pan and cook, covered, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the mussels have all opened (throw away any that haven’t after this time).
    21. Turn off the heat, then remove the mussels from their shells, putting the meat back into the pan (discard the shells). Stir to coat in the garlicky juices, discard the rosemary sprigs, then stir the mussel mixture through the béchamel sauce.
    22. Grease 6 individual baking dishes (measuring about 12cm x 16cm each) with a little oil and bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
    23. Cook the sheets of pasta, a few pieces at a time, for about 1 minute. Remove with tongs and spread over a clean tea towel to drain.
    24. To assemble, place a long sheet of lasagne across each dish so that it overhangs the sides. Add a mixed layer of lemon sole and salmon, then spoon over a layer of the béchamel. Top with a smaller rectangle of pasta.
    25. Repeat until you get to the last of the béchamel sauce, then fold over the overhanging pasta to enclose. Top each lasagne with a king prawn, then scatter over the remaining Parmesan. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and bubbling at the edges. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

BASIC DOUGH FOR FRESH EGG PASTA RECIPE - NYT COOKING
Fresh pasta isn’t something you can master in one go. There’s a learning curve. Only experience can teach you how the dough should feel and how thin to roll it. (Not that it needs to be rolled by hand with a rolling pin. A hand-crank pasta machine is a fine tool, perfect for a small batch.) But pasta making isn’t rocket science either. Most competent home cooks will succeed, even if they never match the prowess of mythic Italian nonnas. Fresh homemade egg pasta is definitely worth the effort, though, and it is always better than commercially produced versions.

  • Divide dough into 4 pieces. Knead each piece until smooth. Roll with a rolling pin or pasta machine as thinly as possible (but not quite paper-thin). Cut each sheet in half, making 8 smaller sheets. Dust dough sheets lightly with semolina to keep them from sticking. Stack 2 or 3 sheets, roll loosely, then cut into 1/2-inch-wide noodles or other desired shape. Continue until all dough is used. Gently fluff noodles and spread on a semolina-dusted baking sheet. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to cook.
