Vincigrassi alla Maceratese con Rigaglie
Macerata, Marche
The grand lasagna of Marche, layered with fresh egg pasta sheets, a slow-braised sauce of chicken giblets (liver, heart, gizzards), Vin Cotto or Marsala, béchamel, and aged pecorino. Older versions include black truffle and sweetbreads. The name may derive from Austrian general Windisch-Graetz, garrisoned in Macerata during Napoleonic wars, though local documentation pre-dates this story. Baked until the top is burnished and edges crisp.

Vincisgrassi Marchigiani
Macerata, Marche
Marche's grand baked pasta — lasagne-like layers of egg pasta with a ragù of chicken livers, chicken giblets, sweetbreads, and prosciutto in a reduced Marsala-butter sauce, alternated with béchamel and Parmigiano Reggiano, baked until a deeply bronzed, almost-scorched crust forms on top. Named (legend holds) for Austrian field marshal Alfred III zu Windisch-Graetz whose troops occupied the Marche in the late 18th century. More refined and offal-rich than Bolognese lasagne, with Marsala adding sweet-smoky depth.
