8 c Homemade chicken broth 2 lg Carrots, chopped 1 Stalk celery, chopped 2 Cloves garlic, peeled & -crushed 1 t Salt 1 1/2 c Fresh breadcrumbs 2/3 c Grated Parmesan cheese, -plus extra for garnish 1 t Freshly grated nutmeg 2 lg Eggs 1 c Chopped fresh parsley Pour chicken broth into a large pot and bring to a boil. Add carrots, celery, garlic and salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, cheese and nutmeg. Make a well in the center and add eggs; mix until thoroughly combined. The dough should be damp but firm. If necessary, incorporate additional breadcrumbs or a few drops of water; if the dough is too wet or too dry it will crumble. To form the passatelli, pinch off a piece of dough and roll it about 1/4 inch thick, then break it into 1/2 inch lengths. Continue forming the rest of the dough in the same manner. Bring the broth back to a boil, add the passatelli and parsley and cook for 5 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with a little Parmesan and serve. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
