Last Saturday we organized a lunch at home with hubby's family to celebrate his birthday.
We were 14 people (including 2 small children, the beautiful aunt) so I opted for a substantial and varied menu.
My only regret is that, given the things to do, I could not photograph anything but the two desserts on her cell phone ... = (
However, the menu included :
Bars: prunes dressed in bacon (browned in the oven for me are very good e particolari con il loro gusto agrodolce).
Primo piatto : fettuccine fatte in casa alla Leonardo (la sera del compleanno del maritino abbiamo festeggiato nel ristorante dove ci siamo sposati e abbiamo mangiato delle fettuccine con un sugo spettacolare: guanciale, melanzane e pomodorini e quindi ho copiato subito...), ho fatto 12 uova di fettuccine!!! Ovviamente con l'aiuto del robottino, della nonna papera e di mia cognata Daniela che mi ha dato una mano a girare...
Due secondi : polpettine alla Momma (metà carne macinata di vitello e metà di maiale, uovo, parmigiano, sale, prezzemolo, mollica di pane strizzata dal latte e olive verdi sminuzzate) le ho fatte rosolare qualche minutes in a pan with a little oil and then put them in a pan and stuck in the oven. At the bottom of baking pan I added some white wine and a nut and I wet with the sauce the meatballs in the oven. I liked very, very soft.
The other second was a timbale of the grandmother (my grandmother's, is made with a layer of potatoes cut into thick slices about 1 / 2 cm, sausage, mushrooms into thin slices, mozzarella, parsley, olive oil and salt a another layer of potatoes, another layer of ingredients and the last layer of potatoes. salt and oil and bake at 180 degrees until potatoes are colored a bit. Here there was the invaluable help of my nephew Lorenzo, who is studying to become cook ...
Serve with a simple mixed salad.
For dessert I made an experiment and a simple thing: the experiment was the ricotta tart to Laura (my partner bought me a new pastry chocolate Giovanni Rana that I could not find in the super and the recipe I made this tart fast, with ricotta cheese with sugar, an egg and chocolate chips, good and fast), the other was the mille-feuille "Run Run" (produced by hubby with puff pastry and pastry cream with the addition of chocolate chips on three layers, good).
I was really happy because I came all good (at least I liked it all) just little sorry for not having had time to take pictures to witness deel my work =)
Even if the husband says that too much stuff and I always stress that in the end, I think the dinner went well and we were together nicely . Best wishes and thanks because my hubby always help ...
Hello, Momma
