Instruction:
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan and fry carrot & onion over medium heat for one minute, add half of the garlic and stir-fry for 15 seconds, add the tomato paste and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes or until it becomes a bit darker in color. Add pearl onions, wine, veggie stock, thyme, bay leaves, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Mix well and bring to a boil. Let boil 4-5 minutes, then cover and let simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. When 5 minutes of cooking time remains, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and butter in a separate pan. Wait until the butter starts to bubble than add mushrooms, season with salt & pepper.

Then add the cornstarch slurry while stirring until the sauce has thickened (1-2 minutes).

Macaroni with Tomato Sauce

Method:

Drop a cup of macaroni into boiling milk and water, equal parts. Let it boil for an hour, or until perfectly tender. In the meantime prepare the sauce by rubbing a pint of stewed or canned tomatoes through a colander to remove all seeds and fragments. Heat to boiling, thicken with a little flour; a tablespoonful to the pint will be about the requisite proportion. Add salt and if desired, a half cup of very thin sweet cream. Dish the macaroni into individual dishes, and serve with a small quantity of the sauce poured over each dish.

Macaroni with Cream Sauce

Method:

Cook the macaroni as directed in the proceeding, and serve with a cream sauce prepared by heating a scant pint of rich milk to boiling, in a double boiler. When boiling, add a heaping tablespoonful of flour, rubbed smoothed in a little milk and one fourth teaspoonful of salt. If desired, the sauce may be flavored by steeping in the milk before thickening for ten or fifteen minutes, a slice of onion or a few bits of celery, and then removing with a fork.

Boiled Macaroni.

Method:

Put a large cup of macaroni into boiling water and cook until tender. When done, drained thoroughly, then add a pint of milk, part cream if it can be afforded, a little salt and one well-beaten egg; stir over the fire until it thickens, and serve hot.

Home-Made Macaroni.

Method:

  • 2 to 3 cups full of flour.
  • Add one egg well beaten, and enough water to make a dough that can be rolled.
  • Roll thin on a breadboard and cut into strips.
  • Dry in the sun.
  • The best arrangement for this purpose is a wooden frame to which a square of cheese-cloth has been tightly tacked, upon which the macaroni may be laid in such a way as not to touch, and afterwards covered with a cheese-cloth to keep off the dust during the drying.
