Update:

The correct spelling is "spezzato" my family made it with either veal or chicken...

2 plus tablespoons of olive oil

1 large onion, diced

3 large garlic cloves, chopped fine

1/2 cup chicken broth or water

2 tablespoons dried oregano

salt and pepper, to taste

1 pound pasta of your choice

Sauté the chicken in olive oil until golden browned; add the onion and garlic, and sauté until soft. Add the oregano, salt and pepper over the top of the chicken. Add the broth or water, and cover the pan. Cook over low heat for 30 minutes. Keep covered off the heat when you finished and while the pasta is cooking.

Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain and transfer it to a small serving bowl.

To serve, remove the chicken from the pan and pour some of the sauce from the chicken over the pasta. Pour the remaining sauce into a gravy boat. Serve each person a piece of chicken with the pasta and lots of freshly grated cheese; pour on ext

    Spezzato Marengo -- Marengo Stew

    A simple, hearty stew . To serve 6:

    2 1/4 pounds (1 k) boned veal (rump, for example). 1/2 cup olive oil

    An onion, chopped

    Salt & pepper

    Flour

    1 cup (250 ml) dry white wine

    2 cups (500 ml) broth or water

    6 ripe tomatoes, blanched, peeled, seeded, drained, and chopped (or a 1-pound can of tomatoes, seeded, drained, and chopped)

    1 clove garlic

    12 button onions

    A bay leaf

    2 champignons

    Toasted bread

    Parsley

    Just like the famed chicken dish Napoleon's cook prepared on the battlefield, this recipe is the result of improvisation and the careful use of common ingredients.

    Cube the meat. Heat the oil in a skillet over a lively fire; when it is hot add the meat and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown. Add the chopped onion and continue sautéing until both onion and meat are golden. Sprinkle a tablespoon of flour over the meat and continue to cook, stirring, until the flour becomes hazelnut brown. At this point sprinkle the wine and broth or water into the pot. When it comes back to a boil add the tomatoes, a crushed garlic clove, and half a bay leaf. Cocer, reduce the fire, and simmer gently.

    In the meantime peel the baby onions and sauté them until just golden in the butter. Trim the stems from the mushrooms (use them for something else), brush away the dirt on the caps, and set them aside. After about 45 minutes, add the onions and the raw mushroom caps. When the veal is tender, remove the meat from the fire and let it sit for a few minutes while the grease rises to the surface. While you're waiting, sauté the slices of bread, which you will want to cut into triangles, in butter until golden. Use a spoon to remove the grease that has risen, turn the stew out into a serving dish, arrange the crostini (bread triangles) around it, dust with minced parsley, and serve.
