Macaroni Milanaise Recipes

RISOTTO MILANESE

Steps:

• Coat a large saucepan generously with olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and salt and sweat them until translucent, about 5 minutes. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, letting the rice slightly stick to the bottom of the pan and scraping it off. It should also sound crackly.
• Add the saffron to the hot chicken stock; the stock should turn bright yellow.
• Add the wine to the pan until it covers the surface of the rice. Season with salt and cook over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the wine has absorbed into the rice. Add the saffron chicken stock to the pan until it covers the rice. Cook over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the stock has absorbed into the rice.
• Repeat this process two more times with the hot saffron chicken stock. When the third addition of the stock has absorbed and the rice is very creamy, bite a couple grains of rice to be sure it is cooked perfectly. If it is still a little crunchy, add a little more stock and cook the rice for another couple of minutes. When the rice is cooked perfectly, remove it from the heat.
• Toss in the butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano and "whip the heck out of it." The rice should be creamy but still flow and hold its own shape.

This step can be done up to 30 minutes in advance.

Drain the elbows in a colander. To the reserved liquid in the bowl, add the olive oil, grated cheese, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Mix well. Add the drained macaroni and the chives, and mix well again. Set aside.

• Reserve the six nicest slices of eggplant and half the tomato slices, and arrange the rest of those vegetables to cover the bottom of a gratin dish measuring 14 by 10 inches. Distribute the macaroni evenly on top, and arrange the reserved eggplant and tomato slices in an alternating pattern over the macaroni. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
• Put the gratin in a 400-degree oven for about 20 minutes (25 to 30 minutes if the dish has been refrigerated), until the cheese melts and the macaroni is heated through. Serve immediately.
