  5. Add veal broth and veal cubes to the skillet, cover and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until cubes are very tender.
  6. When the meat is cooked, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and reduce the sauce if it is too liquid by heating it over a low heat in a small pot.
  7. Cook the pappardelles according to the vendor’s instructions.
  8. When cooked, set 75 ml (5 tablespoons) of cooking water aside before draining.
  9. Once the pasta is drained, mix in the butter and olive oil. Add to the pasta, the cooking water and the grated garlic clove, then the juice of one lemon.
  10. To serve, place the pasta on a a serving and spoon the braised veal over the pasta.
  11. Garnish with finely chopped chives and parmesan shavings. Finish with mill pepper and fleur de sel.
