A comforting and flavorful soup featuring homemade Parmesan passatelli noodles in a rich broth.
Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and lemon zest in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the bread crumbs are fine for a smoother dough.
Add the eggs to the dry mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water or broth.
Let the dough rest in a cool place for 20 minutes.
Resting allows the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
Press the dough through a food mill to form short noodles.
Use consistent pressure for evenly sized noodles.
Bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan.
Use a flavorful broth for the best taste.
Add the noodles to the boiling broth and cook until they float to the surface.
Floating noodles indicate they are cooked through.
Serve the soup hot with a ladle, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the noodles at their best texture.
