Ingredients
3 1/2 ounces (80 grams) bread crumbs
4 ounces (100 grams) freshly grated Parmesan
Large pinch grated nutmeg
Salt
2 large eggs
6 cups chicken stock
Tomato and basil sauce, store bought or home made, as accompaniment
Directions
- Place the bread crumbs, Parmesan, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and carefully mix together with your hands until it forms a soft dough-like consistency. Allow the dough to rest for approximately 20 minutes in a cool place. Once ready, place through a potato ricer to create short noodle-style pasta shapes.
