Ingredients
  • 5 1/2 tablespoon dried breadcrumbs* (see note below)
  • 5 1/2 tablespoon parmigiano-reggiano or grana padano, grated
  • pinch of nutmeg, freshly grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed (optional)
  • 1 quart chicken or other meat broth, preferably homemade
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 -2 green onions, white and green parts, sliced thinly on a bias, for garnish
Directions
  1. Mix the breadcrumbs with the cheese first, then the grated nutmeg and the eggs. Stir or knead by hand to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Divide the dough into pieces and press them through a potato ricer with ΒΌ-inch holes to form short strings or dumplings.
  2. Place the chicken broth in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Cook the passatelli by dropping them directly into the simmering chicken broth. Simmer until the dumplings are tender and float, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  3. Strain the passatelli out of the broth with a slotted spoon or strainer and distribute them among 4 warm bowls. Ladle in the hot stock. Season with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with scallions.
