Traditional Lamb Genovese Dish

Traditional Lamb Genovese Dish.
Recipe in casserole and with Bimby.
We all know the “Genovese”, Neapolitan cult dish”, which has been prepared for some time in this wonderful city, initially created by Genoese hosts who worked and lived in the Partenopean city.
Today, however, I wanted to experiment with Lamb Genovese.
This sweet and delicate meat pairs pleasantly with the taste of the onion giving us a superb seasoning with which we can dress the pasta.
