Passatelli are a pasta made of breadcrumbs, eggs, grated cheese, and in some regions lemon, and nutmeg; it is typically cooked in chicken broth. Today we are making a “green” version and serving it without broth.
Ingredients
- 200 g fresh spinach
- 200 g Grana Padano
- 140 g breadcrumbs
- 70 g 00 flour
- 2 carrots
- 3 eggs
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 shallot
- Nutmeg
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
Preparation
In a non-stick saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and a clove of garlic, add the spinach and sauté for a few minutes with half a glass of water, until soft a mixer with the eggs until you obtain a smooth cream.
In a bowl, combine the spinach cream with breadcrumbs, finely grated Grana Padano, flour, and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix well until you obtain a firm and compact dough. Shape the dough into a loaf, wrap in cling film, and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
In a non-stick pan, sauté the finely chopped shallot in a drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrots and half a glass of water, and cook for a few minutes, until the water evaporates. Season with salt and pepper.
