Continue to fry for five minutes, then lay over the vegetables an ounce of meat glaze and the trimmings, washed and chopped small, of a quarter of a pound of mushrooms ; when the glaze has melted, put the livers into the pan and, keeping the fire quite low, cook gently till they are done. Now pick out the livers and pass the vegetables and broth into a bowl through the wire sieve. Fry the mushrooms, the peelings of which were used in the cooking of the livers, and cut them into eighth-of-an-inch squares ; similarly cut up the livers ; blend the two minces, and put the mixture into the same bowl with the puree. This may be put away till wanted. To complete the dish, boil four ounces of spaghetti, return it to the vessel in which it was boiled, stirring in an ounce and a half of fresh butter and two tablespoonfuls of grated Parmesan
