*Anne's note: Butter or margarine may be substituted for the chicken fat as

it is used to grease a dish.

Roll out the dough not too thin and fold as you would for a jelly roll, 2

1/2 wide. Cut 1/6 wide slices and toss to unfold noodles.

Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil. Add tagliolini and salt; when boiling

resumes, cook 1 minute.

Drain, and place in a large bowl with meat sauce and diced cold cuts. Toss

quickly to distribute the dressing evenly.

Place in a round oven proof baking dish, well greased with fat.* If using

raisins and nuts, make layers, alternating pasta with a mixture of raisins

350F oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or till a nice crust is

formed on all sides. Invert over a serving dish and bring to the table. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
