Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. The mixture should be like a wet dough, barely holding together.
  3. If it seems too stiff, add 1 tablespoon water or stock. If it’s too soft, add more breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
  4. Allow the dough to rest for approximately 20 minutes in a cool place.
  5. Once ready, put the dough in a food mill or ricer. Press to create short noodles (like little worms).
  6. Bring the meat stock to a boil and add the pasta. Once the passatelli have risen to the surface, they are ready to eat.
  7. Serve immediately.
