We are pleased to be able to serve you only the best in Italian cuisine! Roberto’s Feature of the Month: Mascarpone Polenghi – So versatile, so creamy, so fresh!Mascarpone is a typical cream cheese from Lombardy, Italy dating back to the Middle Ages. It was originally produced in the town of Lodi Milan from pasteurized fresh cow’s milk cream, which gives it a buttery consistency with a mild and delicate flavor accompanied by a soft, creamy texture. Mascarpone is ideal with fresh fruit, and in cooking where it can be used as a basic ingredient for sauces, cold puddings, ice cream and the world-famous dessert Tiramisu.  Fettuccine with MascarponeServes 8
Cut ham into small cubes. Mix Mascarpone with egg yolks, grated Parmigiano, and the ham cubes into a creamy sauce. Boil fettuccine as instructed on package or until al dente. Drain and add the Mascarpone-ham sauce. Add freshly ground black pepper and keep pasta warm until the sauce is absorbed.  Chicken Breasts with MascarponeServes 8
Beat the chicken breasts thin and flat, and toss them in flour. Gently fry them in butter until they are lightly browned. Cover them with 3.5 ounces of Mascarpone and let them gently cook at moderate heat for about half an hour. Place the chicken in a dish, cover and keep warm. Stir the rest of the Mascarpone delicately, warm it up at very low heat and pour it over the chicken breasts. Decorate the dish with parsley, season with salt and pepper and serve heated. |
