——– ———— ——————————–
—–TOMATO SAUCE—–
1 lb Tomatoes
2 tb Butter
2 ea Shallots, peeled, minced
Bouquet garni **
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
—–PASTA ROLL—–
2 tb Butter
1/2 c Ham, smoked, diced
4 ea Scallions, minced
8 oz Cheese, cream, softened
1/4 c Cheese, Parmesan, grated
1/2 c Cheese, Ricotta
2 lg Eggs
1/2 ts Pepper, black
2 ea Pasta, spinach, sheets
— ( 12 x 4 inches ea. )
1/2 lb Prosciutto, sliced
— 1/4-inch thick
1 ga Stock, chicken
Chives, chopped

** Bouquet garni is a cheesecloth bag (or some other porous
material) in which you’ve put some rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, and
crushed peppercorns. There is no rule for how much of each you’d use.

Tomato Sauce:
ÿÿÿÿ
To prepare the tomatoes, drop them briefly into boiling water,
then remove and plunge them into cold water and peel.

Remove the seeds and chop the tomatoes.

Melt butter in a saute pan and add minced shallots. Saute,
covered, for 5 minutes over low heat. Add tomatoes and bouquet garni.
Season to taste. Cook covered over medium heat for 30 minutes.

Remove shallots and bouquet garni, then puree. Reserve sauce.

Pasta Roll:
ÿÿÿÿ

In a saute pan, melt the butter and add the diced ham and
scallions. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes until scallions
are soft.

Beat the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, Ricotta cheese, and
pepper together until smooth.

Add the sauteed ham and scallions to the cheese mixture; then add
eggs, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 – 3 hours.

Spread half of the filling on one of the pasta sheets – leaving a
half-inch border around the edges. Brush the border with a little
melted butter.

Place a layer of sliced Prosciutto to cover the filling mixture
then beginning at one of the short ends of the pasta, roll it up. Do
not roll too loosely or the poaching liquid may seep into the
cheese/meat mixture.

Wrap roll in a double thickness of cheesecloth and tie each end
securely with string.

Repeat for second pasta sheet.

Fill a large saute pan with chicken stock. Bring the stock to a
boil and add pasta rolls. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook gently,
turning occasionally, for 25 minutes.

Drain and cool before removing string and cheesecloth. Cut each
roll in half-inch thick slices. Pour some of the tomato sauce into a
pool on the bottom of individual serving plates and arrange the slices
on the plates.

Garnish with chopped chives. Serve warm or at room temperature.

1 lg Asian pear
1 lg Orange, navel
1 lg Grapefruit, pink
Mixed greens
Water chestnut, slices
Onion, purple, sliced
Ginger, candied
Walnuts, roasted

————————-DRESSING————————-
2 tb Oil, sesame
2 tb Oil, walnut
4 tb Veinegar, raspberry
1 ts Honey OR
1 ts Sugar, brown

The orange, grapefruit, and asian pear should be
peeled, sectioned and all of the membrane should be

Any mixed greens that you would like to eat “raw”
can be mixed and placed in a mound in the middle of a
round plate (individual serving). Around this mound of
greens, arrange alternating slices of pear, orange and
grapefruit.

To add a variety of flavors and textures to the
salad, toss in any desired amount of any or all of the
following: thin slices of water chestnut, julienne
strips of purple onion, little bits of candied ginger,
and toasted walnuts.

For the dressing, mix all of the ingredients
together in a blender, or whisk them together
vigorously. If you like a little sweetness to your
vinaigrette dressings, add a little honey, or a little
brown sugar and mix in thoroughly.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve.
