  Preparation

  1. Clean the mushrooms, brushing them gently to remove all traces of soil. Cut the mushrooms into strips or slices.
  2. Pour a drop of oil into a saucepan, flavor with a clove of garlic, then combine the mushrooms. Deglaze with the dry white wine, salt and pepper to taste. Cook the mushrooms for 15-20 minutes, or until soft.

  Did you know that
  Cooking times depend on the mushrooms used. For example, champignons take 10 minutes to cook, while honey mushrooms can take up to 40 minutes.

  3. In the meantime, prepare the passatelli dough. In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, the breadcrumbs, the white flour, the salt, the pepper, the nutmeg and the lemon zest. Add one egg at a time and obtain a solid and compact mass. Wrap the dough in a sheet of cling film until ready for use.
  4. Fill a saucepan with plenty of water and bring to a boil. Salt lightly.
  5. When the water boils, make passatelli. Gather the pasta in the potato masher with large holes and place the water on top of the saucepan. Mash the pasta by letting the passatelli fall into the water. As they descend into the water, with a knife, cut the passatelli to a length of 3-4 cm.
  6. Cook the passatelli for about 2 minutes, stirring gently to avoid breaking them.
  7. Drain the passatelli with a slotted spoon and combine them in the pan with the mushroom sauce. Add a few tablespoons of milk to mix everything.

  Did you know that
  Normally, to mix pasta (passatelli, in this case) with a mushroom sauce, cream is used. To avoid exceeding the calories, we have proposed the use of milk!
  To make the passatelli even tastier, I recommend cooking them in meat broth, instead of boiling them in water.

  8. Turn off the heat, finish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan or Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
