The alcove Marquis & three cheese lasagna with ham - the giveaway and the prize of Nicole Ornella

Continue to visit the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, a prominent Florentine building, which I mentioned in my previous post.

Let's tiptoe into the alcove of the noble Marquis Riccardi and Gabriel, to my amazement, I am delighted faced with such magnificence. My attention is suddenly caught by the heavy velvet curtains that hide frescoed ceiling windows and wide stone stairs. Opposite, the sumptuous bed, covered in crisp, shiny satin with floral designs elegant and subdued tones. Complete the furnishings inlaid antique furniture and valuable paintings.

Lasagna with three cheeses

with ham

Ingredients

A pack of lasagne "Sfogliavelo" by Giovanni Rana (they are so thin that they cook right in the oven), 150 grams of cooked ham, mozzarella cheese to taste, sweet taste provolone, gorgonzola cheese to taste. For the bechamel: 1 liter of milk, 4 tablespoons flour, salt, black pepper, nutmeg.

Preparation Prepare the sauce by adding 4 tablespoons of flour in cold milk, taking care to avoid lumps, add salt, pepper and flavored with nutmeg. Toss over low heat, stirring in one direction, then remove from heat without letting it thicken too much. Pour into the bottom of a casserole of white sauce, place a layer of lasagne, cover with sauce and add the gorgonzola, provolone fresh, the mozzarella into thin slices, chopped ham and bechamel. Repeat the layers. Bake in oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven when the surface is golden brown!

(Cooking times and temperatures depend on the type of oven).

Bon appétit!

The home of the Marquis & the sweet pigtails! The

Il sontuoso arredamento di una delle innumerevoli stanze di Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, un austero edificio rinascimentale fiorentino, situato in via Cavour e appartenuto all'illustre famiglia de' Medici. Nel 1659 la proprietà passò al marchese Gabriello Riccardi che, in seguito a varie ristrutturazioni, la trasformò in una residenza aristocratica di gusto barocco.

Le dolci treccine

Ingredients 400 gr of flour, 200 grams of sugar, 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, orange zest to taste, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, milk to taste, cinnamon, pine nuts or chopped almonds, 2 eggs.

Preparation

In a large bowl the flour, sugar, grated orange rind, vanilla, a pinch of cinnamon, oil, eggs and, finally, add the yeast dissolved in little milk. Knead quickly and roll out the dough with a rolling pin on floured surface. With a serrated wheel cut the dough and cut into thin strips of large circa un centimetro e mezzo e lunghe circa 15 centimetri. Componete ogni dolcetto intrecciando due striscioline. Man mano che sono pronti adagiateli in una teglia rivestita di carta-forno, spennellateli con uovo sbattuto e guarniteli con pinoli o mandorle tritate. Cuocete le treccine a 180° nel forno preriscaldato per circa 15 minuti. (I tempi di cottura e la temperatura dipendono dal tipo di forno).

Bon appétit!
