BAKED ZITI WITH SPINACH AND VEAL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil for pasta.
• In the skillet heat the olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, over medium to medium-high heat. Add the ground veal and lightly brown and crumble, then add the chopped carrot, shallots, garlic, and sage and season with salt and a little pepper and cook to soften carrots and onions, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, add the wine and turn the heat down a bit to simmer gently.
• Meanwhile, drop the pasta in salted water and undercook by 2 minutes from package cooking directions.
• In a saucepot over medium to medium-high heat, add butter and melt, whisk in the flour for 1 minute then whisk in the milk, bring to a bubble and season with more salt than pepper and a few grates of nutmeg. When the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon taste and adjust nutmeg and pepper to your liking.
• Add the spinach to the veal until it is wilted and incorporate, then stir together the pasta, veal mixture, and sauce. Pour the mixture into a casserole and top with the cheeses. Cool, cover and store for a make-ahead meal.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the casserole on a baking sheet to catch the drips and bake in a hot oven until brown and bubbly, 35 to 45 minutes if reheating, 15 to 20 minutes, if not.

VEAL FLORENTINE

Steps:

• 1. In a re-sealable bag, combine flour, paprika, garlic salt and black pepper; set aside. Pat dry veal and place it on a cutting board lined with plastic wrap. Place another cling film over the meat and pound down to ½-inch thick using a meat mallet. Place one cutlet at a time in flour mixture; shake off excess flour, transfer to a plate while dredging the others.
• 2. Preheat oven to 375ºF. In a large skillet over medium high-heat, add 1 tbsp. clarified butter and 1 tbsp. oil. When hot, working in batches, put in couple veal cutlets; sear them 1 ½ minutes per side. Transfer cutlets in a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly greased.
• 3. When cutlets are all done, in the same skillet, add another tbsp. clarified butter and 1 tbsp. oil. Add shallots and sauté for 1 ½ minutes. Add mushrooms and sprinkle a pinch ground sea salt; cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. 3 minutes after mushrooms are sautéed, add lemon zest; continue cooking the ingredients. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in wine and half-and-half; stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
• 4. Meanwhile, in a large pot over medium-high heat, add butter and when melted, add spinach, stir well and cover for 30 seconds. Stir again and cover; this shouldn't take more than 1 ½ minutes to wilt spinach. Transfer to a colander to drain.
• 5. In a bowl, combine parmesan and mozzarella cheese; mix well.
• 6. To assemble the dish, spoon sauce over cutlets and top with spinach. Sprinkle with cheese mixture and chopped parsley. Transfer to preheated oven and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF and cheese is lightly browned. Serve over spaghettini. Makes 4 servings
