Macaroni Milanaise Style Recipe
Have ready some sauce, made according to the
receipt for Tomato Sauce given below, or use some fresh tomatoes
passed through a sieve with a wooden spoon, and highly seasoned, and
two ounces of grated cheese; put half a pound of imported Italian
macaroni, (cost eight cents,) in three quarts of boiling water, with two
tablespoonfuls of salt, one saltspoonful of pepper, and a teaspoonful of
butter, (cost one cent;) boil rapidly for about twenty minutes, then
drain it in a colander, run plenty of cold water from the faucet through
it, and lay it in a pan of cold water until you are ready to use it. Put
into a sauce-pan one gill of tomato sauce, (cost two cents,) one ounce
of butter, (cost two cents,) and one gill of any meat gravy free from
fat, and stir until they are smoothly blended: put a half inch layer of
macaroni on the bottom of a dish, moisten it with four tablespoonfuls of
the sauce, sprinkle over it half an ounce of the grated cheese; make
three other layers like this, using all the macaroni, cheese, and sauce,
and brown the macaroni in a hot oven for about five minutes; serve it
hot. It will cost about thirteen cents.
