A great Italian classic recipe derived from the Neapolitan tradition, usually prepared with beef or veal, we used chicken scaloppini. The meat is cooked in a tomato sauce with oregano, olive oil, garlic and tomato paste. Extremely simple but exquisite. Can be served on pasta with olive oil and garlic, with vegetables or rice.
