1206. MACCARONI, A L'ITALIENNE.
BREAK up the maccaroni in three-inch lengths, and put it on to boil
in hot water, with a pat of butter, a little mignonnette-pepper and salt;
when done, drain it on a napkin, and as soon as the moisture is ab-
sorbed, dish it up in the following manner:— First, put two large
ragout-spoonsful of good tomato sauce into a stewpan, and boil it over
the stove-fire; then add two pats of fresh butter with as much glaze,
and work the whole well together; next, strew a layer of the macca-
roni on the bottom of the dish, then pour some of the sauce over it,
and strew some grated Parmesan cheese over this: and so on, repeat-
ing the same until the dish is full enough; strew some grated cheese
over the top, put the maccaroni in the oven for five minutes, and then
serve while it is quite hot.
