'Cesca Veal Cutlets “Saltimbocca” with sage and Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati Ingredients: • 1 lb scaloppini or cutlets of veal sliced wafer thin • 1/3 lb Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati thinly sliced • 8 sage leaves • Flour • Salt and freshly ground black pepper • 4 Tbsp butter • 1 Tbsp olive oil • 1/2 cup dry white wine

Bocca Directions: Place a smaller slice of Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati over each thin veal slice. Put the sage leaf in the middle and roll the veal in a neat, sausage-like shape.

Secure with a cocktail stick. Dredge in flour mixed with salt and pepper.

Heat half the butter and oil in a large frying pan and as soon as the butter foam begins to subside, put in the meat rolls. Brown on all sides. The rolls should become quite golden, not pale beige.

Heat the wine in a separate saucepan and pour over the saltimbocca. Raise the heat and bubble the wine away for 1 minute. Transfer the saltimbocca to a heated dish, remove the cocktail sticks and keep warm. Add a couple of tablespoons of boiling water to the pan and then add the remaining butter bit by bit while swirling the pan around.

Taste and check for seasoning. Pour the sauce over the meat and serve at once on warmed plates.

Chef Jorge Carrera

Spaghetti carbonara with Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati Ingredients: • 1 lb dry organic durum wheat spaghetti • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil½ lb Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati, cubed or sliced into small strips • 2 large eggs (one whole and one yolk) • 1 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano

Fulvi, plus more for serving • Freshly ground black pepper 4 people

Directions: Prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking to ensure that the spaghetti will be hot and ready when the sauce is finished; it is very important that the pasta is hot when adding the egg mixture so that the heat of the pasta cooks the raw eggs in the sauce.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook 8-10 minutes or until tender yet firm (as they say in Italian "al dente"). Drain the pasta well, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water to use in the sauce if you wish.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium flame. Add the Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati and sauté for about 3 minutes, until the Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati is crispy.

Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the pan and toss for 2 minutes. Beat the eggs and pecorino together in a mixing bowl, stirring well to prevent lumps. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the egg/cheese mixture into the pasta, whisking quickly until the eggs thicken, but do not scramble (to prevent this from happening, this step takes place off the heat). Thin out the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water, until it reaches a creamy consistency.

Season the carbonara with several turns of freshly ground black pepper and taste for salt. Mound the spaghetti carbonara into warm serving bowls and add more cheese to finish.

Chef Alessandro Peluso

Felidia

Felidia Directions:

Cappellacci with Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati, butter and sage For the filling: For the egg wash: • 12 oz Prosciutto Cotto • 1 large egg, beatens Gran Biscotto Rovagnati, • Kosher salt, shredded

for the pasta water

• 6 oz roasted chicken, shredded For the sauce: • ½ cup Parmigiano • 1½ sticks unsalted butter Reggiano Vacche Rosse • ½ cup Parmigiano or Grana Padano

• ½ cup ricotta • ½ cup melted butter For the pasta: • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 9 egg yolks • 4 Tbsp water

Vacche Rosse or Grana Padano, grated • Optional: traditional balsamic vinegar

6 people

For the filling: Shred the chicken and the Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati, blend with the ricotta and grated cheese and melted butter. Mix well.

For the pasta: To make cappellacci, cut the pasta dough into 4 pieces and roll them all through the pasta machine at progressively narrower settings into sheets, 6-inches wide, or as wide as your machine allows. Cut the sheets (crosswise) when they stretch longer than 20-inches. Roll the shorter sheets until the pasta is quite thin, consistently keeping the sheets about 6-inches wide.

Lay one sheet of dough on a lightly floured surface, with the long edge running left to right in front of you.

With your hands or a rolling pin, stretch the dough gently top to bottom — that is, make it a bit wider than 6-inches so you can fold it over the filling.

Drop a rounded tablespoon of filling on the bottom half of the sheet, every 3-inches, from left to right. Using a pastry brush dipped in water, moisten the edges of the sheet and in between the mounds of the filling to help the dough stick together. Now fold the sheet over the filling, so the top edge aligns with the bottom. Press the dough lightly so it adheres and encloses the filling. Run the pastry cutter in between the mounds, creating 3-inch square cappellacci.

Press the edges of the squares to make sure the pasta has sealed. Set the cappellacci on a lightly floured tray; stretch and fill all the rolled sheets in the same way.

To cook the cappellacci, bring 8 liters of salted water to the boil in a wide pot.

Drop the cappellacci into the boiling water and return it to the boil. Cook 3-4 minutes, gently stirring and turning the cappellacci to keep them from sticking. When they’re cooked through (test a thick edge of pasta) lift them from the pot with a slotted spoon, drain off excess water and slide them into the sauce.

Then, lay the cooked ravioli in the pan, and coat jthem with the hot butter. Remove the pan from the heat, and sprinkle with the grated cheese, mixing gently so the cheese begins to melt into the sauce. Add a drizzle of traditional balsamic vinegar if you wish.

Il Gattopardo

Fresh homemade pasta roses stuffed with Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati For the pasta and filling:

For the sauce:

Gran Biscotto

Rovagnati, thinly sliced • ½ lb baby spinach, cooked and chopped • ¼ lb Parmigiano Reggiano, grated

(crushed tomato sauce) • Salt & pepper to taste

• 2 cups milk • 2 Tbsps butter • 1 lb fresh pasta sheets, store-bought • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour or homemade • 1 Tbsp tomato ‘passata’ • ½ lb Prosciutto Cotto

4- 6 people

Directions: Cut the sheet of pasta into 15-by-5-inch rectangles.

Quickly cook them in boiling water. Dry and layer them with the slices of Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati, fontina, and spinach. Sprinkle with some Parmigiano Reggiano, roll them up jelly-roll style and slice in half. To make the sauce, make a béchamel but add to the melted butter the tomato passata and the flour.

Take a baking pan, cover its bottom with the tomato-béchamel sauce, and place the filled rolls standing on their ends. Using a pair of scissors, make 5 or 6 cuts of about ½-inch in one end of each roll to give it the appearance of a flower. Top with the remaining sauce and Parmigiano Reggiano, and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.

Chef Massimo Galeano

Directions:

Tortelli with Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati Ingredients: Dough for tortelli: • 3 cups durum flour • 4 whole eggs • 2 egg yolks • 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) • 1 egg, for wash

For the filling • ½ lb Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati • 2/3 cup sheep’s milk ricotta • 1/3 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, grated • 1 Egg 6 people

In a medium-sized bowl, pass the Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati through a meat grinder.

Combine the Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati with all the remaining ingredients, and mix until all are well combined. In an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine flour and oil, adding the whole eggs one at a time, and continuing to mix until it forms a ball. Sprinkle some flour on a wood work surface, and knead the dough until elastic and smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes. Cut the ball of dough in half, and cover the rest. Dust the work surface and dough with flour. Form the dough into a rectangle and roll it through the pasta machine, 2 or 3 times, at its widest setting. Guide the sheet of dough with the palm of your hand as it emerges from the rollers.

Reduce the setting and continue, until the machine is at its narrowest setting. The dough should be about 1/8-inch thick.

Dust the counter with flour, and lay out the long sheet of pasta. Brush the top surface of dough with egg wash. Put the filling about 2-inches apart on half the sheet of pasta. Fold the unfilled half over the filling, and with your fingers, gently press out air pockets around each mound of filling. Use a round mold to cut each pillow, checking to ensure they’re well-sealed; set aside. Cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 5 minutes. Lift the ravioli from water with a large strainer, and combine with tomato sauce. Add some grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and serve.

Chef Vito Gnazzo

La Ribalta

Mozzarella & Vino

Spaghetti with zucchini and Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati Ingredients: • 1 lb spaghetti • ¼ lb Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati 2 lb zucchini, sliced into thin rounds • ½ lb Provolone del Monaco cheese, grated • 2 or 3 garlic cloves • A few basil leaves • Olive oil • Salt and pepper

4 people

Directions: Fry the zucchini slices in oil (preferably olive oil) until they are lightly browned. Proceed in batches if your skillet isn’t large enough to hold all the slices in a single layer. As they are done, lay the fried zucchini slices on paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt.

Bring a large pot of water to the boil, salt well, and throw in the spaghetti. Cook until very al dente.

While the spaghetti is cooking, in a large skillet or sauté pan, sauté the garlic lightly in olive oil. Remove the garlic. When the pasta is done, drain it, but not too well. Add the zucchini rounds the Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati sliced julienne style and then pasta to the skillet and a ladleful of pasta water. If you want, reserve some of the zucchini for garnish. Mix everything together vigorously for a minute or two. The zucchini rounds may break up, but that’s normal.

Then add the grated cheese and some basil leaves, and continue mixing until the cheese has completed melted into a creamy sauce, adding more pasta water if need be to keep things flowing smoothly.

Serve your spaghetti right away, topped with the remaining zucchini slices for garnish, along with perhaps more basil leaves and created cheese.

Chef Pasquale Cozzolino

Lasagna with Prosciutto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati Ingredients: • 6 pieces fresh egg pasta (same as for the tortelli)¼ lb fresh ricotta • 3 oz smoked mozzarella, chopped • 3 oz Parmigiano Reggiano, grated • 1/3 lb Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati, thinly-sliced For the ragù: • 1 lb Italian sweet sausage • 6 oz canned Italian cherry tomatoes • 6 oz meat broth • 1 small red onion • 2 stalks of celery • 1 medium carrot • 1 clove Garlic • 3 oz red wine • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) • 1 bunch of fresh thyme

Directions: Wash and very finely cut the vegetables. In a large skillet, add olive oil and the vegetables, and cook until golden brown. Add the sausage (in small pieces), and keep cooking over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the wine, and let evaporate. Combine tomatoes, meat broth (if not available, use water), thyme (leaves only). Let simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

In a large pot, boil the pasta for 1 minute, then chill in cold water; dry and lay on kitchen towel. In a 13”x9” baking dish, add some ragù, and cover with pasta. Cover with some more ragù, chopped mozzarella, ricotta, Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto Cotto Gran Biscotto Rovagnati.

Repeat, creating two more layers. Top the last layer with the remaining ragù and Parmigiano Reggiano. Bake at 375 degrees (F), covered with aluminum foil for 25 minutes, then uncovered for 25 more minutes, or until it has a golden color. Let stand 20 minutes. Serve.
