Rag霉 alla Napoletana





Ingredients:


1/2 cup pine nuts, chopped


1/2 cup raisins, chopped


4 cloves garlic, minced


2 lbs. beef chuck, sliced to 1/8-inch thickness


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


5 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil


1 onion, sliced


1/2 cup (or 2 demitasse glasses) red wine


1-2 35-oz. cans chopped tomatoes


1 12-oz. can tomato paste


Grated parmesan for serving





Preparation:


In a small bowl, combine pine nuts, raisins, and garlic. Lay meat slices on a work surface and season them lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle pine nut and raisin mixture on one side of the slices. Roll slices up and secure them with a toothpick or kitchen twine.





Place rolls in a large, deep saut茅 pan and add oil, onions, and 4 cups water. Place over medium heat and simmer, uncovered, until water has evaporated, about 1 hour.





Continue cooking, turning rolls with tongs, until they are lightly browned on all sides. Add wine to pan and cook until evaporated. Add tomatoes and tomato paste to pan and bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce is very thick, about 2 hours.





Remove meat from pan with tongs; remove toothpicks or cut twine. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over a cooked tubular pasta, such as penne or ziti, top with meat, and serve with grated parmesan cheese on the side.








Caponata di Melanzane





This is a typical Sicilian dish based on vegetables, above all on aubergines. The vegetables are fried and then simmered in a sweet-and-sour sauce. This dish, served cold as an antipasto, is now popular all over Italy. It can be eaten warm as an accompaniment to meat and poultry or used as a pasta sauce.





Ingredients:


1 large onion, chopped


3-4 celery stalks, including leaves, chopped


5 tbsp olive oil


1kg (2 1/4 lb) aubergines (eggplants), cut into 2.5cm (1 inch) chunks


1 tbsp salted capers, soaked in water for 10 minutes, then drained


20 green olives, stoned


1 tbsp sugar


1 tbsp white wine vinegar


55g (1 3/4 oz) concentrated tomato paste


Salt and pepper





Preparation:


Blanche the onion and celery in lightly salted water for a few minutes, then drain.





Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the aubergine chunks and fry until brown and tender (don't over crowd the pan; you will probably have to cook them in batches). Add the onion, celery and all the remaining ingredients. Stir well, then cover and cook for about 15 minutes, removing the lid of the pan towards the end of cooking. Should the sauce require extra moisture, add a tablespoon or two of water during cooking. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serves 6

Add kosher salt and black pepper, to taste, and set aside to keep warm.


Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions until just al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, and place the pasta in a large mixing bowl along with the hot pasta sauce and the basil.
