How it is made

Quantities are for 6 people. The steps are in the order you do them.

  1. knead the breadcrumbs with the parmesan, the eggs and the nutmeg into a firm dough, neither too soft nor too hard
  2. cover it and leave it to rest for about half an hour
  3. press the dough through the passatelli iron, or through a potato ricer with large holes
  4. cut the passatelli between 4 and 8 centimetres long and spread them on a tray lined with paper; if they fall apart, add a couple of tablespoons of flour to the dough
  5. cook them in boiling broth and lift them out with a slotted spoon when they begin to rise, before they come fully to the surface
  6. serve them at once, with a little broth
