    Title: Macaroni Pie
    Categories: Dinner pies, Pasta, Vegetarian
    Yield: 1 Batch

    3 oz Large; straight macaroni
    1 sm Onion; stuck with:
    2 Cloves
    1 Celery stick
    4 Artichokes
    1 sl Turnip; thick
    1 c Thick tomato sauce
    1 ts Parsley; chopped
    1 tb Parmesan cheese; grated
    Seasoning
    1 Egg; beaten
    2 Eggs;
    - up to 3, hard boiled,
    - quartered (optional)
    MMMMM-----------------------POTATO PASTRY----------------------------
    1/2 lb Potatoes
    6 oz Flour
    Salt & pepper
    1 ts Baking powder
    3 oz Butter
    1 Egg; beaten
    Milk; cold; as needed

    Put the macaroni and vegetables in a saucepan containing some boiling
    water, season well and cook steadily for 1 hour, then drain the
    macaroni and cut it into small pieces; cut up the vegetables with
    which it was boiled, excepting the onion, and put all into a buttered
    pie-dish, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, sprinkle in the
    cheese & parsley, and pour in the sauce; cover with the potato paste,
    brush over the top with beaten egg and bake in a quick oven. Two to
    three hard-boiled eggs, cut into quarters, can be added to the other
    ingredients if liked.

    Serve the pie with stewed lettuce prepared thus: Wash some
    freshly-cut, compact lettuces, then tie each with a piece of narrow
    white tape, and parboil them; drain them and put them into a buttered
    stewpan, containing a small quantity of onion, which has been scalded
    and minced; season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and a dust of sugar;
    cover the pan and let them simmer for 10 minutes, then pour in
    sufficient nicely-flavoured milk-stock to nearly cover them. Place a
    greased paper over the lettuces before putting on the lid of the pan,
    and let them cook in a moderate oven until tender; when done, take
    out the lettuces, untie them, cut them in half, and keep them hot in
    a vegetable dish while the sauce is being made. Thicken the stock in
    which the lettuces were cooked with some potato flour mixed with a
    small quantity of cream, and when it has thickened, add a squeeze of
    lemon-juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley, and pour through a
    pointed strainer over the lettuce.

    Potato Pastry:

    Put 1/2 lb potatoes (cooked and sieved) into a basin, add 6 oz flour,
    season with salt & pepper, and add 1 ts baking powder, then rub in 3
    oz butter and moisten sufficiently with beaten egg and cold milk to
    form a smooth and fairly stiff paste. Knead it well and roll it out
    on a floured board to about 1/2" thick, and cut into the required
    size and shape for the pie.
