Orecchiette & Braciole

OK my friends , this was made few weeks ago when my mom was still here, i really like south Italian food, and this is a dish that my Grandma use to make once a week normally on Saturday or Sunday , basically when all the family was together... It is a type of past that she makes , well all the Nonnas from Italy normally make the pasta... specially the traditional ones..
But i need to say that we bought it, because we are not that good on making it... :-)
The sauce it's made with meat , more precisely with Cow , it is a thin slices of meat with a filling of: salt ,pepper ,spicy cheese , garlic and parsley.. rolled up and put a tooth pick to close it...
Fry the rolls is a pan with some Olive oil and when brown add the tomato (crushed ), half of glass of red dry vino,2 bay leaf ,i cup of water and some salt if needed.
Let it cook for 2 hr.s or until the meat is really cooked, add water if needed.
Cook the pasta, ( al dente) drain it and then add the sauce to it , serve a salad with the meat , And buon appetito ,I hope you like it , let me know , ciao to every one , love you like always your Italian friend Dolly.
