Instructions
1
Prep
Combine 120g breadcrumbs, 120g Parmigiano, 2 eggs, 2 tbsp flour, pinch nutmeg, lemon zest, 0.25 tsp salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix and knead 4 minutes until stiff and dense. Adjust texture with breadcrumbs or water if needed. Wrap and rest 10 minutes at room temperature.
2
Simmer
Bring 1200ml chicken broth to a bare simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat. Taste and add up to 0.5 tsp salt if needed. Add 200g shredded cooked chicken and warm through, about 2 minutes.
3
Build
While broth simmers, set up a passatelli iron or potato ricer over a floured board. Press rested dough through in small batches; 4cm strands will emerge. Cut and let fall onto the board, working in batches until all dough is pressed.
4
Finish
Gently lift passatelli with a slotted spoon and drop into simmering broth. Cook until they rise, about 90 seconds, then cook 30 seconds more. Do not overcook or they will break apart.
5
Plate
Ladle broth, chicken, and passatelli into two warm wide bowls. Top each with 10g grated Parmigiano, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, and a pinch of nutmeg. Serve immediately.
