copertina omaggio a milano aimo e nadia

To pay homage to the typical Milanese tradition of yellow risotto with ossobuco, Aimo e Nadia offers brilliant tortelli stuffed with Fassona ossobuco and marrow, served with a reduction of Sardinian saffron and Parmigiano Reggiano.

HOMAGE TO MILAN

For fresh egg pasta

Ingredients for 1.5 kg

  • 1 kg flour
  • 7 whole eggs
  • 10 yolks

Place the ingredients in the mixer and knead with the dough hook for a few minutes until the dough is firm. Then knead the dough by hand again a few minutes until smooth and homogeneous. Then let it rest well covered with food-grade plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before rolling out the dough.

For the filling

  • Ossobuco of veal
  • 400 g of fassone
  • 50 g carrots
  • 50 g celery
  • 50 g onion
  • 20 g sourdough semolina bread
  • 30 g Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • 1 leaf of sage
  • 50 ml white wine
  • 20 g extra-virgin olive oil
  • 30 g butter
  • 0.5 g nutmeg
  • 1 l water
  • 6 g salt

Take the veal shanks and separate the bones from the flesh. Soak the bones for 1 hour in cold water with ice, then extract the marrow. Make a mirepoix of carrot, celery and onion, brown it in oil then add the ossobuco flesh and cook over high heat. Deglaze with wine, add water with salt and continue cooking for 45 minutes, taking care to add boiling water to compensate for evaporation. When cooked, strain, keeping the broth aside.

Then return the broth to the heat and reduce it by 80 percent. Then heat the butter with the chopped rosemary and sage, add the cooked meat pieces, marrow, and bread, and sauté in the pan until everything is well-dried. Then pass the mixture twice through the meat grinder with medium die and mix it with Parmigiano and nutmeg. Now prepare balls of 10 g each and arrange them on a sheet of baking paper.

For the sauces

  • 40 g butter
  • 40 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (28 months old)
  • 45 g milk
  • 0.10 g Sardinian saffron stigmas (soaked in g 30 of water for 12 hours)

In a tall, narrow container place the butter and Parmigiano at room temperature. Separately, bring the milk to a boil, then pour it over the butter and Parmigiano, mixing with an immersion blender. Divide the sauce into two parts: leave one part natural and in the other add the saffron with its infusion water.

Roll out a very thin sheet of pasta, to a thickness of about mm 1, then pack 24 ravioli in the shape of a candy, placing a ball of filling in the center of each.

For the garnish
