Servings: 4 people
Calories: 365kcal
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 150 grams grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 150 grams fine breadcrumbs
- grated rind of half a lemon untreated
- nutmeg to taste
- 64 oz chicken broth vegetable broth works too
- salt and pepper to taste
Equipment
- Potato ricer
Instructions
- Place the breadcrumbs on a pastry board, form a well in the center, and break the 3 eggs in the center. Add the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, a grating of nutmeg, the lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. A large bowl can also be used as an alternative to the pastry board.
- Add a ladle of broth and mix the ingredients with your hands until you get a compact dough. Adjust the breadcrumbs and broth to obtain a compact mixture.
- Leave the dough to rest for about 2-3 hours at room temperature. Every 20-25 minutes, knead the dough again for a couple of minutes. This process will help make dough elastic and firm and to prevent the passatelli from disintegrating in the broth.
- When the dough is ready, bring the broth to boil.
- On a lightly floured work surface, divide the dough into balls big enough to fit in the potato ricer and crush them one by one with a potato masher with large holes (about 5 mm). Wrinkled and firm filaments should form as the dough is forced through the holes.
- Slowly and carefully drop the passatelli into the boiling broth.
- The passatelli are cooked as soon as they float to the surface.
Notes
Traditionally, the soup is made with meat broth, but vegetable or fish broth may also be used.
