Timbale de Nouilles au Jambon.—Make a nouille
timbale as described for the polenta timbale, only
using instead of the polenta the nouille paste given
for the raviolis; blanch the pieces of nouille in
salted water, and set them aside to cool after
seasoning them with pepper and salt; then line a
well buttered plain Charlotte mould with this paste,
the prettiest way being to put a disc of the paste at
the bottom, and all round this a row of triangles cut
from the nouille paste, points upwards, and then
finish with a second layer of triangles points down-
wards, fitting just between the points of the first
row; now fill this up with nouilles like the raviolis
(only filling these with a herb farce flavoured with
a little anchovy instead of meat), pieces of York,
Bayonne, or other very good cooked ham, cut into
dice, a good sprinkling of Parmesan cheese (grated)
and sufficient rich allemande sauce to moisten the
whole duly; then finish off, like the Polenta timbale.
