BEEF BONES ADD DEPTH AND RICHNESS TO THIS RISOTTO STYLE PASTA DISH!
Chef Lorenzo Boni created this recipe as an explosion of Umami. The sweetness of roasted onion, carrots, marsala wine perfectly blend with the slightly bitter taste of roasted beef bones, the savory flavor of celery and sea salt and slightly sour note brought in again by the marsala wine. Everything combines very well with the simple grain flavor of Barilla® Spaghetti and the “Umami rich” addition of aged Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Chef Lorenzo used the “risotto style” technique for added creamy texture of the sauce.

PASTA PROCEDURE
In a skillet, bring broth to a boil, add pasta and cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently; adding boiling broth as needed until one minute short of the full package cook time.
The goal is to complete the cooking process while the broth is reduced while perfectly coating the pasta.
Turn heat off, stir in parsley, butter and cheese; stir continuously until dissolved and creamy texture is reached. If needed loosen up the sauce with a touch of the broth.
