Pasta fresca con sugo di papera

The fresh pasta with duck sauce is a first course that has its origins in Macerata. In Marche, it is a very popular Sunday dish, but was originally prepared on the 31st of August to celebrate St. Giuliano, patron saint of Macerata.

The duck is cut into pieces and sprinkled with a chopped vegetable, then is mixed with the tomato and left cooking for about an hour, finally the pasta is seasoned and served hot!

Oca arrosto

The roasted goose is a festival dish, in the past it was prepared in summer during the harvesting period to celebrate the harvest. To prepare a good roasted goose, the meat should first be flavored with aromas, such as sage and rosemary, salt, garlic and sometimes bacon. In the past, instead of the bacon, they used the lard, with which the meat was completely covered. The goose is baked in the oven and mixed with white wine, a simple recipe that exalts the taste of this delicious meat.

Coniglio in porchetta

The rabbit in Porchetta alla Marchigiana, is a second dish of meat that is prepared with the stuffed rabbit. The meat is boned and sprinkled with crushed garlic, rosemary and wild fennel.Then they add thin bacon slices and the livers cut into cubes.

Vincisgrassi

Vincisgrassi are a traditional pasta dish of Marche and Umbria. They are prepared with egg pasta alternating with layers of sauce, similar to lasagne. The sauce of vincisgrassi is very particular and prepared with pork, beef and chicken all made in pieces. This recipe was created in the late eighteenth century and it seems that the name of this dish comes from the erroneous pronunciation of Windisch Graetz, an Austrian general who was in Ancona.
