Grated Pasta in Broth: Pasta Grattata in Brodo
- 1 cup sifted flour
- 1 tablespoon semolina flour
- 3 eggs
- 6 cups brown chicken stock, recipe follows
- 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 1/2 pounds chicken wings, backs, and bones
- 3 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 2 onions, coarsely chopped
- 4 ribs celery, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 1 bunch parsley stems
- Combine the 2 flours in the middle of a clean work surface and form a well in the center.
- Work in the eggs, add a pinch of salt and knead to form a rather tough dough.
- Let rest for 1 hour.
- Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the dough over a floured kitchen towel, keeping the pieces separated so that they dont stick together.
- Bring the chicken stock to a boil and cook the pasta in the broth for 15 minutes.
- Serve in warmed pasta bowls with Pecorino grated over.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over high heat until smoking.
- Add all the chicken parts and brown all over, stirring to avoid burning.
- Remove the chicken and reserve.
- Add the carrots, onions, and celery to the pot and cook until soft and browned.
- Return the chicken to the pot and add 3 quarts of water, the tomato paste, peppercorns, and parsley.
- Stir with a wooden spoon to dislodge the browned chicken and vegetables bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Bring almost to a boil, then reduce heat and cook at a low simmer until reduced by half, about 2 hours, occasionally skimming excess fat.
- Remove from heat, strain, and press on the solids with the bottom of a ladle to extract out all liquids.
- Stir the stock to facilitate cooling and set aside.
- Refrigerate stock in small containers for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.
