Stir with a wooden spoon for a few moments to separate the noodles, and cook for about 7 minutes, or until tender. The pasta should be al dente.

SALTIMBOCCA ALLA ROMANA

Steps:

• Put the veal cutlets side by side on a sheet of plastic wrap. Lay a piece of prosciutto on top of each piece of veal and cover with another piece of plastic. Gently flatten the cutlets with a rolling pin or meat mallet, until the pieces are about 1/4-inch thick and the prosciutto has adhered to the veal. Remove the plastic wrap and lay a couple of sage leaves in the center of each cutlet. Weave a toothpick in and out of the veal to secure the prosciutto and sage. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to combine. Dredge the veal in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
• Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter and in a large skillet over medium flame. Put the veal in the pan, prosciutto-side down first. Cook for 3 minutes to crisp it up and then flip the veal over and saute the other side for 2 minutes, until golden. Transfer the saltimbocca to a serving platter, remove the toothpicks, and keep warm.
• Add the wine to the pan, stirring to bring up all the delicious flavor in the bottom; let the wine cook down for a minute to burn off some of the alcohol. Add the chicken broth and remaining tablespoon of butter, swirl the pan around. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the saltimbocca, garnish with sage leaves and lemon wedges; serve immediately.

FETTUCCINE ALLE RIGAGLIE DI POLLO (FETTUCCINE WITH CHICKEN GIBLET RAGù)

Steps:

• With a sharp paring knife, remove any visible fat, arteries, or membranes from the offal, as best as you can. Pat it dry with paper towels.
• Add most of the olive oil to a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the surface begins to shimmer, fry the offal in the olive oil, spreading it out in one layer, and season with salt. If the offal gives off water, cook until the pan starts to sizzle again; you are looking for it to brown. Then flip, and brown the other side.
• Add the crushed garlic cloves, another whirl of olive oil, the chili, bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. Add the onion, lower the heat, and cook until the onion is very soft and begins to melt, about 7 minutes.
• Add the white wine to deglaze and scrape all the flavor from the bottom of the pot, reduce the wine by half, and add the chicken stock. Simmer gently, covered, for about 20 minutes, then let it rest for at least 10 minutes and as long as a few hours, for the flavors to meld. Remove the bay leaf and taste for salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the pasta, and toss it with your ragù over medium heat. Loosen it with some olive oil and stock if necessary. Season with salt and pepper, and finish with grated cheese and lemon zest.
