I was surprised at how often nutmeg was used over here. I had always thought of it as a “dessert” ingredient, but it definitely adds something to the dishes.

This is similar to a recipe that our family has - but I amost impressed that you also use the family's secret ingredient: nutmeg! We grate ours rather than using ground nutmeg and the flavor in sauces is incredible! Bonnie Bonnie (valentinoswife)´s last blog post..Open Doors…Closed Windows

Certo! I didn’t know there was a Sardegnan dish like it. One of these days I’m going to try something with Pane Carassau.

I saved and printed this for my friend, at whose home I am staying in the US. There's a somewhat similar Sardegnan dish made with Pane Carassau, but that's so hard to find here. This is a much better choice for here. I reckon that having your recipe may be a comfort when her live-in Italian chef returns home? D'accordo? Judith in Umbria´s last blog post..Americaland

Thanks Paola. My brother and sister-in-law live in Teramo and we often have scrippele ‘mbusse. She also uses the scrippele (crepes) to make lasagne, but not with chicken like you mentioned. I’ll have to try it sometime and the next time I’m in Philly I’ll stop in.

It’s yummy. If you get a chance, you should give it a try.

I think it depends on the package. Some of the noodles say not to boil them first. If you get the Giovanni Rana fresh ones (which I use fairly often), you don’t have to boil them first. They’re good too. I use two packages of them to make a pan of lasagna.
