To begin, you will need some key ingredients. You will need 400g of pappardelle pasta, 100g of lard, 1 medium-sized onion, 1 garlic clove, 1 sprig of rosemary, 1 sprig of thyme, 500g of roasted chestnuts, 50ml of grappa, 75g of grated parmesan cheese, salt, and fresh ground black pepper.

Firstly, you need to start by preparing the chestnuts. Preheat your oven to 375°F and cut a small “X” on the flat side of each nut with a sharp knife. Place the chestnuts on a baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes until they are cooked through. Once they are cool enough to handle, remove the shells and set them aside.

In a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat, melt the lard until it becomes liquid. Add in the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent. Then, add in the rosemary and thyme and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.

Next, add the peeled and roasted chestnuts to the pan. Stir until they are coated in the lard and onion mixture, then pour in the grappa. Allow the alcohol to cook off for about 2-3 minutes until it has evaporated.

While the chestnuts are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pappardelle to the boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes or until it is al dente. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving about half a cup of the cooking water.

Now, you can combine the pasta with the chestnut mixture in the frying pan. Pour in about 1/3 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water to the frying pan and toss gently until everything is well combined. Add in the grated parmesan cheese and stir until it has melted and incorporated into the pasta.

Finally, season with salt and black pepper to taste. You can either serve immediately or keep it warm over low heat until you’re ready to eat.

This recipe for pappardelle with lard, chestnuts, and grappa is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cozy night in. With its combination of savory flavors and sweet chestnuts, this pasta dish will surely become a staple on your dinner table. Enjoy!
