3. Boil in boiling salted water, adding the onion, carrot celery and bunch of parsley for added flavour.

TIME: 60 MIN


A young red is recommended for this delicious menu. This should have a good structure and nose such as Pinot Nero from the Colli Piacentini or a Friuli Cabernet Sauvignon. The lively local red wines are also perfect, such as Gutturnio and Lambrusco Reggiano.
