Veal Marsala with Egg Fettuccini
- 1 1/2 pounds veal cutlets for scaloppini, from the butcher counter
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup flour, a couple of scoops
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 4 turns of the pan total
- 1 large or 2 small shallots, chopped
- 24 crimini (baby portobello) mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Marsala
- 1/2 cup beef stock, from canned soups aisle
- 1 box, 12 to 14 ounces, egg fettuccini, cooked to al dente
- Finely chopped flat leaf parsley, for garnish
- Season veal with salt and pepper.
- Place a large piece of plastic food wrap on a cutting board or work surface.
- Arrange veal between cutlets on the plastic wrap.
- Cover veal with additional plastic wrap and a sheet of waxed paper.
- Gently pound out veal with meat mallet or a small, heavy frying pan.
- Fold veal up in its plastic and waxed paper wrapper and set aside.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Build an assembly line between the veal and the hot pan: veal, shallow dish with flour, butter and olive oil, pile of shallots and sliced mushrooms, Marsala and beef stock.
- Place a large platter over low heat on the burner adjacent to your veal pan.
- Warm it, then turn off the heat.
- Begin cooking the veal Marsala just before your egg fettucini goes into cooking water; the veal will take 12 minutes, the pasta 7 or 8.
- If you are serving the suggested side dishes or a salad, these dishes should be assembled before the veal.
- Dredge the veal lightly in flour.
- Saute cutlets in a single layer 2 minutes on each side.
- For each batch of veal, use 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and 1 tablespoon butter.
- Transfer cooked cutlets to the warm serving platter.
- If you have a 12 to 14-inch skillet, you should be able to make just 2 batches.
- Add another tablespoon extra-virgin oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet.
- Add half of the chopped shallots and all of the sliced mushrooms to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Saute the shallots and mushrooms for 5 minutes.
- Add Marsala to the pan and bring up pan drippings.
- Add 1/4 cup beef stock and when it bubbles, add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan to gloss your sauce.
- Spoon mushrooms and Marsala down over the veal.
- Return the pan to the stove.
- Add remaining extra-virgin oil, butter and remaining shallots to the skillet.
- Cook shallots 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add remaining 1/4 cup beef stock to the shallots and add the egg fettucini to the pan.
- Toss fettuccini with broth and butter and season with salt and chopped parsley.
- Transfer pasta to a serving dish and serve with warm veal Marsala.
