Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

100 g parmesan cheese, grated
100 g breadcrumbs, small
3 eggs (small ones or 2 big ones)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 lemon, zest only
1 1/2 liters broth, if possible homemade (beef or hen broth with celery, carrots and leek)

Steps:

  • Place the bread crumbs, Parmesan, nutmeg and the lemon zest in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and carefully mix together with your hands until it forms a soft dough-like consistency.
  • The mixture should be like a wet dough, barely holding together.
  • If it seems too stiff, add 1 tablespoon water or stock. If it's too soft, add more breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
  • Allow the dough to rest for approximately 20 minutes in a cool place.
  • Once ready, put the dough in a food mill or ricer. Press to create short noodles (like little worms).
  • Bring the meat stock to a boil and add the pasta. Once the passatelli have risen to the surface, they are ready to eat.

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 whole eggs
Nutmeg, to taste
1 lemon, zested
4 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
4 ounces bread crumbs
Salt to taste
1 quart broth (either chicken, meat, vegetable)

Steps:

  • Mix 3 eggs in a ceramic bowl. Add nutmeg and lemon zest. Beat this mixture with a wire whip. Add the cheese and the bread crumbs. Add salt to taste. *This consistency should be the same as a potato puree. If it comes out too hard, add some broth to soften it and if it comes out too soft, add some more bread crumbs. Heat the broth. While boiling, strain the dough using a strainer with large holes (3/8 of an inch diameter) directly into the boiling broth and lower the flame to avoid breakage which can occur from water that is boiling very rapidly. If you wish to save any leftovers, take a flat dish and sprinkle it with some bread crumbs and a pinch of flour. Place the Passatelli on it, cover with plastic wrap and freeze immediately.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large eggs
2 teaspoons Lemon peel, raw
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
7 ounces finely grated Grana Padano cheese
½ cup dry bread crumbs
4 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Beat eggs, lemon zest, salt, and nutmeg with an electric blender until foamy. Add Grana Padano cheese and bread crumbs and mix with your hands into an compact, yet soft dough. Cover and allow dough to rest in a cool place for at least 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot over high heat.
  • Use a potato ricer to mash dough directly into the broth, forming small "snakes" about 2 to 3 inches in length. Use a sharp knife to cut passatelli directly from the bottom of the potato ricer so they drop into the water. Cook until passatelli float to the surface, about 5 minutes. Immediately scoop them out with a slotted spoon and drain.
  • Transfer passatelli to soup bowls and serve with hot chicken broth.
