Saffron Couscous & Spinach Stew

Hand-pinched saffron pasta filled with tender braised veal, finished with a concentrated bone marrow jus and a bright gremolata emulsion.
Sear the veal shanks in a heavy-bottomed pot until deeply browned. Remove veal, add mirepoix, and sauté until caramelized.
Deglaze with white wine, return veal to the pot, add beef broth, and braise at 140°C for 3 hours until the meat falls off the bone.
Mix flour, egg yolks, and saffron. Knead until smooth, wrap in plastic, and rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
Shred the braised veal, mixing it with a small amount of the reduced braising liquid to create a moist filling. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Roll the pasta dough into paper-thin sheets. Place small mounds of filling along the sheet, fold over, and use the 'plin' (pinch) technique to seal individual agnolotti.
Reduce the remaining braising liquid until syrupy. Whisk in the roasted bone marrow, parsley, and lemon zest to create the gremolata emulsion.
Boil agnolotti in salted water for 2-3 minutes. Toss gently in the gremolata emulsion and finish with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
