How to Cook a Duck
Gianfranco Vissani

The duck is one of the most tasty game birds, especially if cooked as follows. De-bone the bird, cut the carcass into pieces and cook in olive oil, garlic, rosemary and onion. Stew the vegetables and bones, pour white wine, let it evaporate and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil and strain off the liquid with a “chinois” filter. Cook the thighs and breasts in a pan with olive oil, salt, pepper and laurel. Cook the “bigoli” noodles in salted water, strain them dry and cream them with a portion of the sauce and the parmesan cheese. Pour them into buttered moulds lined with grated parmesan and place in an oven at 180 degrees for a minute. Pour the sauce evenly on the plate, lay the pasta pie on the sauce and arrange the scalloped thighs and breasts in a fan shape. Top off with a yellow squash julienne and a rivulet of fresh olive oil.
