Tonight's menu consists of

Insalata, manicotti, pane fresco, parmigiano di vitello

(Salad, bread, manicotti, and veal parmesan)

I started last night making a simple sauce.

I sauteed some onions in olive oil


when they were done I added my favorite tomatoes, a bit of wine,

some diced green peppers,
garlic, black pepper, basil and a touch of oregano ( I like the basil flavor more than the oregano)

This morning I got up early and prepped the veal

dipped in eggs, bread crumbs and fried in olive oil






Drain on some paper towels and let cool a bit and then into the fridge until later

This afternoon I made the manicotti shells and filling.



The filling was made with ricotta, eggs, grated romano and parmesan cheeses and some chopped fresh parsley



Got the shells all filled ( note to self : use pastry bag next time)



covered with a little sauce and into the fridge until later on

Next I have a fresh loaf of crusty homemade bread to go with it

This morning I made the dough for dutch oven no knead bread



Here it is fresh out of the oven

Here is the veal right out of the oven



And the Manicotti



And finally all plated up with a nice glass of burgandy

And a Special thanks to Mama for answering my questions and making this possible
