<directions>
    <step>Cook pasta to al dente while completing remaining steps. Rinse with cold water after draining to prevent overcooking.</step>
    <step>Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl or plate.</step>
    <step>Heat a large pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil, and heat for another 30 seconds.</step>
    <step>Dredge veal cutlets in the flour mixture and move to a clean plate.</step>
    <step>Add cutlets to the hot pan for 2-3 minutes each side, working in batches. Set aside on a covered plate to keep warm.</step>
    <step>In between rounds of cooking, combine stock, wine, lemon juice, and capers in a bowl or large Pyrex measuring cup. After all cutlets are cooked, pour into the frying pan and deglaze.</step>
    <step>Bring liquid to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for about 3 minutes or until the mixture reduces in half.</step>
    <step>Swirl in butter until fully melted.</step>
    <step>Add parsley and adjust seasoning if necessary.</step>
