Ingredients
- 4 eggs - medium
- 200 g breadcrumbs - 1 ⅓ cups
- 200 g parmigiano reggiano - 2 cups, grated
- nutmeg - to taste
- 1 lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- black pepper - to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl mix and combine all the ingredients for passatelli. First the breadcrumbs, the parmigiano cheese and the eggs. Then add the lemon zest, plenty of nutmeg, a pinch of fine salt and a little freshly ground black pepper.
- Mix the ingredients with your hands and work the mixture until you get an elastic and compact dough. Now give the dough the shape of a ball.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature. This will make the mixture more compact and prevent passatelli from breaking and crumbling during cooking. Then cut a piece of dough the size of a tennis ball.
- Place the dough in a potato masher with large holes. Press the dough and pass it through the holes to form passatelli. Cut them about 8 cm (3 inch) long with a knife and place them on a lightly floured tray.
- Make a tasty meat broth or vegetable broth, depending on your preferences. Bring it to a boil.
- Then press the dough in the potato masher and cut and drop passatelli directly into the boiling stock. Or, if you prefer, add them with your hands once they're ready.
- Enjoy passatelli in brodo very hot with the addition of grated parmigiano cheese.
