Veal Capellini Food

LEMON CAPELLINI

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons of salt to a large pot of boiling water. Add the capellini and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until just al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat a large (12-inch) saute pan, add the butter, and heat until the butter is melted. Add the zest and juice of the 2 lemons. Add 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and swirl the pan to combine.
• As soon as the pasta is cooked, lift the pasta out of the water with tongs, allowing most but not all of the water to drain back into the pot, and add all the pasta to the sauce. Cook for one minute, adding pasta water to the sauce with a ladle just enough to keep the pasta moist.
• Transfer the pasta to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with more lemon zest, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and squeeze a little lemon juice on top. Serve hot.

VINCENZO'S VEAL SCALOPPINE

• Place the flour in a shallow pan and season with salt and white pepper. Lightly dust the veal in the seasoned flour. Saute the veal in clarified butter quickly, until just rare. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the shallots, mushrooms, and capers. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 6 minutes. Deglaze the pan with wine. Add the lemon juice and veal stock and simmer until the sauce reduces by half. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over veal. Garnish with melon and parsley.

• Pour in lemon juice and white wine. Increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Dissolve the cornstarch in about 2 tablespoons of chicken broth, and set aside. Pour the remaining chicken broth into the skillet, season with garlic pepper and lemon pepper, and bring to a boil. Once the sauce is boiling, stir in the dissolved cornstarch, and cook until thickened and clear, about 1 minute. Remove the sauce from the heat, then whisk in heavy cream.

Repeat with remaining veal, adding more oil to skillet as necessary.

Stir to heat through, then deglaze with the wine and remove from the heat.
• In a saucepot over medium heat, melt the butter, whisk in the flour and bring to a bubble. Whisk in the milk and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. Thicken the sauce to coat the back of a spoon. Taste to adjust the seasoning and remove a ladle of sauce to combine with the egg yolks to temper them. Add the egg yolks to the sauce and stir in half of the fontina cheese and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Reduce the heat to low, or cover to keep warm.
• Salt the water, and cook the pasta to a chewy al dente, 6 to 7 minutes. Then drain and cool. Fill the tubes or shells with the meat filling using small spoon. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with one-quarter of the sauce, then arrange the shells and cover with the remaining sauce, then top with the remaining cheese. Refrigerate or freeze for a make-ahead meal.
• Bake from room temperature at 375 degrees F until brown and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes.

VEAL SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pat the veal dry with paper towels and sprinkle it lightly with the salt.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan (preferably large enough to hold all the veal in a single layer) over medium-high heat.
• Put as much of the veal as fits in a single layer in the pan (it is important you don't crowd the pan) and cook until it has started to brown and releases from the surface of the pan-about 2 minutes.
• Turn the cutlets and cook them until they're cooked through and browned on the second side-about 2 more minutes. Transfer the veal to a plate. Repeat with any remaining veal, as necessary.
• Return the frying pan to the heat. Add the capers to the pan and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
• Add the white wine and use a spatula to help scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Whisk together and cook until the wine is reduced by at least half, about 2 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
• Swirl in the pieces of butter, whisking if you like, to make a sauce. Taste and add salt if needed.
• Return all of the veal to the pan to coat it in the sauce.
• Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Drizzle a bit of the sauce over each serving of arugula before placing the veal on top of the salad. Drizzle any remaining sauce evenly over the veal.
• Serve immediately.
