_Tagliatelle col Presciutto_
Noodles
A slice of ham, fat & lean
Oil or butter
Carrot
Celery
Tomato paste[7]
Cut the ham into little pieces. Chop carrot and celery to equal the
ham in quantity. Put them all on the fire with some butter. When the
mixture is brown add a few tablespoons of tomato paste dissolved in a
cup of hot water.
Cook the noodles in water that is only slightly salted. Drain and
dress with the sauce and grated cheese. The quantities to use in the
sauce must be determined by the amount of noodles to be cooked.
