Serves: 2

Preparation

 

 

For the Gremolata Pesto Sauce:

In a food processor, process the basil, garlic, salt, pepper, orange zest, lemon zest and juice, and Parmigiano cheese, until well-combined. Slowly stream in the extra virgin olive oil until a sauce forms and it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

 

 

In a medium skillet, combine the sauce with the reserved pasta water. Put pasta into the sauce and toss to combine. Twirl the pasta around a roasting fork to make a pasta bundle on the plate.

 

 

For the Arugula Salad:

In a medium salad bowl, combine the arugula, tomatoes and red onion. Dress with balsamic drizzle.

 

 

For the Veal Saltimbocca:

Place 1 slice of prosciutto down on a cutting board and lay a veal cutlet over the top, put the herbs on the cutlet and wrap it in the prosciutto.

 

 

Heat olive oil in a skillet or griddle pan over medium high heat. Cook the saltimbocca on each side for about 1-2 minutes.

 

 

Serve over spaghetti and with arugula salad on the side.
