Making passatelli Romagnoli is relatively easy, a child’s play. So much so that in many Romagna cuisines, it is precisely the little children who crush the dough with a potato masher. But be careful, it must have wider holes. So check and buy the proper tool, otherwise, it will be quite difficult to make the passatelli, since the dough is quite hard and consistent.

The dough of Romagna passatelli

And then we come to the central node of the recipe of Romagna passatelli: the dough. Because in the end, it’s all there the flavor and the difficulty of the dish. The classic Passatelli dough is made with grated bread, Parmigiano Reggiano, flour, eggs, salt, pepper. Then there are two philosophies about passatelli: there are those who add lemon zest and those who add nutmeg.

We don’t want to choose the best way to make the ultimate passatelli, they are two small variations, but in reality, they radically change the flavor of this pasta. Nutmeg goes very well with the broth, the more creamy winter preparations, rich in cheeses or with pronounced flavors of umami and salt. The version of the passatelli with lemon peel is more suitable for light vegetable sauces and seasoning.

Today we want to honor this great dish of Romagna cuisine with the recipe of a historic restaurant: truffle passatelli with Parmesan fondue. A fabulous dish, where complex flavors combine with elegance to create a unique symphony of pungent and umami flavors. We would like to thank the Osteria del Vicolo Nuovo in Imola for the wonderful recipe.
