De le lasagne
Togli farina bona, bianca; distempera con acqua
tepida, e fa che sia spessa: poi la stendi
sottilmente, e lassa sciugare: debbiansi cocere nel
brodo del cappone, o d'altra carne grassa: poi metti
nel piattello col cascio grasso grattato, a suolo a
suolo, come ti piace.
Of the lasagna
Take good white flour, temper with tepid water and
make it that it is dense/thich: then stretch it thin,
and let it dry: one has to cook it in capon broth or
other fat meat broth: then put it in the plate with
grated cheese, layer on layer, as you please.
