The broth recipe is a basic preparation indispensable in the kitchen, not only for soups and first courses of regional cuisine, such as passatelli in broth, but also for many other preparations, including children’s first soups, for which a light chicken, veal or beef broth is usually prepared.

1.

To prepare the passatelli, first dedicate yourself to the broth in time. In a bowl, collect the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan. In a second bowl, beat the eggs with salt, pepper, lemon zest and nutmeg to taste. Start mixing with a fork.

2.

Knead by hand until a smooth and soft ball is obtained. If it is too hard dilute with a little broth, if it is too tender add more breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Wrap everything in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 2 hours. Divide the dough in half and pass each of them, one at a time and with some force, through a potato masher with large holes. You will need to obtain passatelli of about 4 cm.

Alternatively, you can use the typical “iron”: take a portion of the dough, roll it out about 2 cm thick on a floured surface and place the tool on it. Apply pressure by slowly sliding forward so that the passatelli come out of the holes provided. Collect them on a plate or mash them directly on the saucepan with the boiling broth. The passatelli in broth are ready after a couple of minutes when they come to the surface. Serve immediately hot
