Enjoy this short video recipe where Nonna Violante teaches us to make Passatelli with broth. Strozzapreti is a typical and very tasty homemade Italian pasta from Romagna.
Simple to make, they traditionally go with a chicken broth.
Ingredients for 8 people:
- 250 g. of plain breadcrumbs (undressed)
- 125 g. of grated Parmesan
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 lemon zest
- grated nutmeg
Mix all the ingredients well until you get a soft ball of dough. Cover and rest it for 5 minutes. When it’s ready, cut the dough to create small balls. Using the tool to make passatelli (potato ricer), squeeze each ball inside it. Help yourself with a knife to cut passatelli when they are long enough. Put them inside the boiling chicken broth (that you should have already prepared) for 4-5 minutes. Turn the heat off and let them rest for a few minutes.
Flour is not needed for this recipe. However, Nonna Violante suggests that you can add just a little bit of flour (a teaspoon) when you are making dough to avoid melting passatelli down when they are cooking in the boiling broth.
Enjoy the video tutorial and Buon Appetito!
