SIMPLY SIGNORINA: ITALIAN LIFESTYLE BRAND
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and when it arrives, you may or may not be prepared. This year I put together a Valentine’s Day recipe that will surely impress your partner. If you happen to have procrastinated this year, this simple dish would be perfect for a last-minute romantic night in.
Rosette is a rose-shaped pasta typical from the Emilia Romagna region. To make Rosette, you can use store-bought lasagna sheets, or if you have the time and are looking to score more points with your partner, you can make fresh sheets on your own. Each lasagna sheet will prepare approximately three roses.
Instructions for the Rose-Shaped Pasta
3. Once your pasta is mostly dry, cut your lasagna sheets approximately 1.5 inches wide. You should get roughly three strips from each lasagna sheet.
4. Once you have cut your strips of pasta, start slicing your Fontina cheese very thinly. A cheese slicer works well if you have one.
5. Place the fontina and ham layered on top of the cut pasta strips and remove any excess pieces from the edges.
6. Once your ham and cheese is laid out, roll the layered pasta strips into a cylinder. To seal the edge, wet your finger and firmly press the end of the pasta together.
7. After your roll of pasta is sealed, use a pairing knife to slice an X into the top about 1/2-inch deep. This X will give the pasta a rose shape.
Instructions for Besciamella
Note: I added a little bit of tomato sauce to the besciamella to make a pink sauce, but the traditional recipe from Emilia Romagna does not call for tomato sauce.
