Chicken with Spaghetti

Prepare the spaghetti by boiling about three pounds in salted water
for twenty minutes.

Stew a chicken in water until tender and pick it to pieces, adding
enough of the gravy to make a quart. Into this put four sliced
onions that have been fried in two ounces of butter, and one quart of
tomatoes. Stew for fifteen minutes. Place a layer of spaghetti on a
platter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, pour over some
of the chicken sauce and repeat the layers, putting the best of the
chicken on top.

Quail with Celery

Cut six quail in halves and cover them with water in a stewpan, adding
strips of salt pork, some finely chopped celery, salt and pepper. Cook
until done. Remove the birds and strain the liquor; add to it, two
ounces of flour rubbed into two ounces of butter, the remainder of
the head of celery grated, and two cups of milk. When it thickens pour
over the birds and serve very hot.
