*Agnolotti* with sweetbreads and mascarpone at L’Apicio

What corner of the Italian food canon doesn’t make any red-blooded eater’s heartbeat quicken? Among the cuisine’s most sensual plates are these offal *agnolotti*—luxurious pockets of soft egg pasta that are stuffed with rich sweetbreads and creamy mascarpone. The plump, warm pasta is finished with a drizzle of golden chicken jus and a dusting of Parmesan shavings. *13 E 1st St between Bowery and Second Ave (212-533-7400). $17.*
