BUDGET BEATING PRICES
_ Get a deal on veal for Cannelloni

S A SPECIAL treat for my family I agreed
to make homemade Cannelloni for Sunday
dinner. It really blasted my budget to pay
$3.98 a pound for ground veal at the nearest meat
market. This week Ill be visiting Buy Low - they’re

featuring veal shoulder

steak for $1.58 a pound

and my food processor will make short work of
grinding it!

if your family likes Italian
food, they’ll like this.

CANNELLONI

For the pasta squares, visit
your mearest fresh pasta
outlet and buy seven lasagne
noodles. Cut each noodle in-
to three 4’’ squares. Cook ac-
cording to directions.

Filling:
First, prepare 2 cups
medium white sauce: (4

tablespeons each flour and
butter, 2 cups milk, dash of
salt)

2 pounds ground veal

1 package frozen chopped

spinach

1 onion, | carrot,

1 mb celery

2 cloves garlic
1% cups grated parmesan
cheese

2 eggs

Pinch of nutmeg, fresh

cracked pepper to taste.

Gently saute the veal in a
frying pan with a dab of but-
ter. When it turns white,
remove to a bowl. Cook the
spinach and drain (squeeze!)

Super Valu ts the place to
buy Cross Rib roasts this
week - $1.89 a pound (bone
in). If 1’m having a crowd I
cook one of these the night
before using lots of seasoned
pepper on the outside. Well
chilled, it’s easy to slice very
thin and it’s great with a

budget beaters

well. Grind the spinach or
toss in your food processor
and add to meat.

Grind the carrot, onion,
celery and garlic and saute
until soft with a dab of but-
ter. Send it to join the meat
‘and spinach.

Lightly beat the eggs and
toss them in too. Finally, add
half the Parmesan cheese, %
cup of the white sauce and
the seasonings.

Put a couple of tables-
poons of filling on each pasta
square and roll up. Use your
biggest oblong baking dish
and butter it well. Spread
about “% cup of the white
sauce on the bottom. Ar-
range the rolls side by side,
seam-side down on the dish.
Top with the rest of the white
sauce and the grated
Parmesan. Bake at 350° for
half an hour. Serve with a
tossed green salad and garlic
bread. Serves 5 with one ex-
tra Cannelloni for Dad.

While you're at Buy Low,
pick up some seedless green
grapes (67¢€ a pound) and
nectarines (53¢ Ib.) for
dessert.

Scallops at $4.59 a pound

Italian herbs) looks delicious
