Directions
1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the onion until soft and transparent. Add the wine and reduce the liquid. Add the chicken stock and the bay leaf and let steep on low heat for about 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, add the cream and reheat. Purée the sauce, mix in the butter and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
2. Prepare liver and cut into 1 cm strips. Wash pear, quarter, remove the core and cut into wedges.
3. Caramelise the powdered sugar in a pan on medium heat and fry pears from both sides. Mix in the butter and add the liver strips. Fry in the butter for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt pepper, a pinch of majoram. Stir in the parsley.
4. Cook the pasta according the package instruction until firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Pour off into a sieve, drain and give back into the sauce pan.
5. Give the sauce to the pasta and reheat. Arrange pasta on a plate and add the ragout.
