3 ½ oz red wine (Valpolicella Ripasso)
4 tbs of heavy cream

marjoram to taste
1 bay leaf
Grana Padano to taste (this is a local cheese; Parm-Reg would be good too)

2. Pour the red wine over the mixture, allow to evaporate, and then salt to taste. Add the broth and cook until broth has reduced to only a few tablespoons. Can cook this mixture a long time- about an hour, adding more liquid if needed. Sauce shouldn't be very liquidy. Add the herbs, the bay leaves and finally the cream. In the meantime, cook the pasta in abundant boiling and salted water.
3. When the pasta is cooked, when it is still “al dente”, drain it, put it in the pan with the sauce and toss it. If you think it's too much pasta, don't add it to the sauce all at once. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with freshly grated cheese, finely chopped parsley and arrange on the serving dish.

Wow! That looks beautiful and looks yummy. Is duck meat a local thing at the grocery store there?
ReplyDeleteYum! This looks delicious and the pasta shape looks interesting. I will have to see if we can get it here.
ReplyDeleteYes, duck meat is a local thing here at grocery stores- the tiny grocery store closest to me even carries it! We really like the Bigoli pasta, Debbie. It's chewier than other shapes, but in a good way.
