Veal Chop

Capellini with Vodka Tomato Cream

Method

Preparing the Veal Chop

  1. 1

    Sear the Veal Chop

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the veal chop with salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary. Once the oil is hot, add the veal chop and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.

  2. 2

    Rest the Veal Chop

    Remove the veal chop from the skillet and let it rest on a plate, covered loosely with foil, for about 5 minutes before serving.

Making the Imperial Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the veal, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  2. 4

    Add Crabmeat

    Gently fold in the jumbo lump crabmeat and chopped parsley. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking Capellini with Vodka Tomato Cream

  1. 5

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the capellini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Make the Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce

    In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes and vodka. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

  3. 7

    Combine Cream and Season

    Add heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir well and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce is creamy and well combined.

  4. 8

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked capellini pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and combined.

Plating

  1. 9

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, place the capellini with vodka tomato cream. Top with the rested veal chop and generously spoon the imperial sauce with crabmeat over the veal. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
