Ingredients

• 400 grams Rigatoni pasta
• 500 grams Veal shoulder or cutlets, thinly sliced
• 250 grams Button mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 Shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 120 milliliters Dry white wine
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 150 milliliters Chicken or veal stock
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, tossing it with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the veal slices with a pinch of salt and pepper, then brown them in the skillet, 2-3 minutes per side. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the shallots and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Let the wine simmer until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken or veal stock and let it cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Return the veal slices to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes until the veal is fully cooked and tender.

Step 10

Toss the rigatoni into the skillet with the sauce, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.

Step 11

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, mixing well. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley, if desired.
