Preparation

1.Cook the pasta tubes according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
2.In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent.
-
3.Add the flour to the saucepan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
4.Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried oregano, and ground nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.

5.Cook the béchamel sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
-
6.Remove the bay leaf from the sauce and discard. Add the cooked chicken tripe to the sauce and mix well.

7.In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip each pasta tube into the beaten eggs, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
-
8.Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the coated pasta tubes until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chicken tripe — Ensure the tripe is thoroughly cleaned before cooking. Boil it in salted water for about 1 hour until tender. Trim off any excess fat or tough parts before incorporating it into the béchamel sauce.
Tips & Tricks
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken tripe with cooked mushrooms or artichoke hearts.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the béchamel sauce for a tangy twist.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavors to your liking.
- Serve the Frittatine Trippate with a side of fresh tomato sauce or marinara for dipping.
- If you prefer a crunchier coating, double-dip the pasta tubes in the beaten eggs and breadcrumb mixture.
