Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Put into boiling water a slice of butter, half a pound of ‘macaroni, an onion stuck with two cloves, and a little salt.
  2. Boil for three quarters of an hour;
  3. then try with the fingers if the macaroni is soft and flexible, in which case, take it off the fire, and strain it well in a sieve;
  4. then put it in a saucepan without the onion, but with two ounces of butter, six ounces of grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of coarse pepper, and @’ little grated nutmeg;
  5. give the whole a turn over the fire, adding, gradually, three spoonfuls of cream;
  6. when the macaroni becomes ropy, salt it to your taste, and serve.
