CREPES WITH GROUND MEAT FILLING

Steps:

• For the batter, stir together the pastry flour with the eggs, a pinch of salt and the milk and let rest 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 80°C (approximately 175°F).
• For the filling, peel the shallot and garlic, chop finely and sweat in a hot pan with oil until translucent. Add the ground meat, crumble with spatula and cook. Rinse the tomatoes, quarter, remove the stalk and seeds and cut the flesh into small cubes.
• Trim the scallions, rinse, cut into thin rings and add with the diced tomatoes to the ground meat. Season with salt, pepper and chile flakes and keep warm.
• Remove the leaves of the lettuce, rinse and shake dry.
• Heat some oil in a frying pan (20 cm diameter, approximately 8 inches) and pour in a small ladle of the batter. By slightly turning and tilting the pan, spread the batter to a uniform thickness and bake golden brown on both sides. Remove, drain on paper towels and keep warm in a preheated oven. Repeat with the remaining batter and bake another 7 small crepes. Place the crepes on a kitchen worktop, spread as desired with a little sour cream or cream cheese, lay 1-2 lettuce leaves on each and top with some of the meat mixture. Gently fold one side of crepes slightly toward the center and roll the crepes. Wrap in napkins and serve in glasses. If desired, decorate with a dollop of sour cream.

THREE MEAT CANNELLONI BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet. Add onion, celery, and carrot, and cook over moderate heat until softened. Add the garlic, and cook 1 minute. Add veal, pork, and beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is no longer pink. Add wine, and reduce for 1 minute. Stir in broth. Add herbs, bay leaf, and salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover, and reduce until almost dry. Discard bay leaf. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter or margarine in a saucepan set over moderately low heat. Whisk in flour for approximately 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, grated nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in parsley and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
• Transfer the cooled meat mixture to a large bowl. Mix in egg yolks. Mix in the cheese and parsley sauce. Set aside.
• Combine the tomato sauce and cream, set aside.
• Cut the pasta sheets crosswise into 5 inch lengths. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the noodles a few at a time until al dente. This should take only a minute or two with fresh pasta. Transfer to a bowl of cold water. Spread the noodles in one layer on paper towels to drain.
• Spoon 1/4 cup of the filling down the center of one noodle, and roll the noodle to enclose the filing. Transfer the cannelloni, seam side down, to a well buttered gratin dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling, arranging in single layer. Ladle the tomato sauce over the cannelloni, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 10 minutes, or until bubbling. Run under the broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 2 minutes, or until golden.
