This is the easiest homemade pasta dough I ever made! Its just plain breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese and eggs. The pasta is then cooked in chicken broth. Thats it...this meal takes less than 30 minutes to make! I served it with crusty homemade garlic toast! I found this recipe on the Internet, but the photos are my own.
Ingredients
- 1 c
- grated paresan cheese
- 1 c
- plain breadcrumbs - i used the 4c brand
- 4 large
- eggs
- pinch
- nutmeg
- 8 c
- low sodium chicken broth
- fresh
- chopped parsley - garnish
How to Make Passatelli (Cheese Pasta Dough)
- 1Mix the cheese and breadcrumbs together in a large bowl.
- 2Then add in the eggs and mix well to form a very wet dough.
- 3Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a large pot.
- 4Line 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper.
- 5Form the dough into 3 equal balls and pass each dough ball, seperately, through a potato ricer with the large hole attachment, onto the lined cookie sheets, as in my photo. Or you can just pass the dough through the ricer, placed over the simmering broth. That way it goes directly into the broth.
- 6Cook for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm.
