• Add fettucini a little at a time, breaking up the oil patches as you drop it inches.
• Return to a boil and cook until al dente (3 minutes for fresh or 7 minutes for dry).
• Drain, and rinse with hot water, then cold for dry fettucine or just cold water for fresh.
• Allow to cool 2-3 minutes, then coat your hands with vegetable oil and toss the fettucine.
• Set aside.

• Sauté garlic for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the cream and cayenne pepper, and turn heat up to med-high.
• Whisk constantly as the mixture comes to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium and slowly add the cream cheese, stirring constantly.
• Let mixture simmer until reduced a little and thick (7-8 minutes), whisking constantly.
• Remove from heat, and gradually add 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, whisking until cheese is melted.

• In a cake pan or other shallow pan, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, olive oil, white pepper, onion, and garlic; mix well.
• In another pan, beat the eggs, then beat in the Parmesan cheese.
• Soak the veal in the egg mixture for at least 5 minutes, making sure it is thoroughly coated.

• Just before frying, dredge veal in bread crumbs (press crumbs in with your hands and shake off excess).
• Fry veal in hot oil until golden brown (about 1 minute per side).
• Do not crowd pieces together and change the oil if the crumbs in the bottom start burning.
• Remove veal from pan and set aside (keep warm).
• Reheat the cheese sauce over med-high heat, whisking frequently (if the butter starts to seperate from the sauce, whisk in a tablespoon of milk).

• Remove from heat and immediately serve fettucini with veal.

SIMPLE VEAL PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• If you are using fresh tomatoes, peel them by dipping them in boiling water for 1 minute, then squeeze off their skin. Halve the tomatoes, scoop out their seeds without squeezing, and chop up coarsely.
• Put 2 tablespoons of butter and the vegetable oil in a small saucepan and turn on the heat to medium high. Cook the onion, stirring from time to time, until it becomes colored a pale gold.
• Add the ground veal, and turn it over several times, using a wooden spoon, to brown it all over.
• Add the cut-up tomato, salt, and several grindings of pepper, and with your wooden spoon turn over all ingredients two or three times. Cook at a steady but gentle simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Cook and drain the pasta and toss it immediately and thoroughly with the sauce, swirling into it the remaining tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan.
