If you love Italian cooking, give this classic Veal Mantia Recipe a try. This quick and easy recipe will bring authentic flavor to your dinner table. Enjoy the flavor of the veal, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs in this delicious dish!
To make this classic veal mantia recipe you will need 1 lb. of thinly sliced veal cutlets, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 small onion chopped, 2 cloves garlic minced, 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), fresh oregano and basil for garnish (optional). You'll also want to have salt and freshly ground pepper on hand for seasoning.
Before you begin cooking, season the veal cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper. Coat each cutlet with the flour and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the onion and garlic until they are tender, about 3 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and red pepper flakes, if desired, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer, stirring occasionally.
Now it's time to assemble the veal mantia. Take one of the prepared cutlets, spoon a few tablespoons of sauce onto it, and top with some mozzarella cheese and basil leaves. Roll up the cutlet and place in a greased baking dish. Repeat with remaining cutlets, arranging them slightly apart in the dish. Finally, pour the remaining sauce over the rolls, sprinkle with Parmesan and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy!
Once the sauce is complete, it's time to prepare your noodles. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the wide pappardelle noodles. Cook according to package directions and drain in a colander. Spoon a few tablespoons of the marinara sauce into the bottom of an oven-safe baking dish. Place the cooked noodles on top and spread evenly. Top with remaining marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, basil leaves and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown in colour. Serve hot and enjoy!
Enjoy this flavorful Veal Mantia recipe with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
