Recipe of September 2004

Pasta au gratin
( for 4 persons )

In a pan, let’s brown for 2/3 minutes a sliced shallot, add 80 gr of crumbled sausage and 150 gr of minced meat. Then add 4-5 juniper berries and one laurel leaf. Let’s wet with a small glass of sherry. Add 400 gr of tomatoes pulp and a little bit of sugar, salt, pepper.

Let it cook for about 20 minutes.

Prepare now a rather fluid béchamel sauce ( 2 dl of milk, 15 gr of butter, 15 gr of flour, salt, nutmeg).
Let abundant salted water boil and cook about 350 gr of any kind of short pasta.

Drain it before being completely cooked, add the neat sauce already prepared, put it in a heat-resistant pan, add the béchamel sauce and grated parmesan.
Put in a warm oven for about 10 minutes.

UUHHMM!!!
