three hours in water with tablespoon

and a pound of macaroni boiled in the
broth until tender, with two large to-
matoes and small red pepper. While
the macaroni is boiling, force-meat
balls are made of quarter of pound
of lean fresh pork chopped fine, Glove
of garlic, a small onion, a tablespoon
full of parsley, all chopped very fine,
seasoned with salt and pepper, and
formed into little balls by mixing in
raw egg; the force-meat balls are fried
brown, after being rolled in flour.

it is tender, together with a quarter of
a pound of cheese grated, and it is then
served either with or without the boiled
pork.
