Method

  1. Make the broth

    Place the chicken thighs in cold water, bring to the boil and skim off the foam. Add the vegetables and parsley, season with salt, then simmer gently.

    60 min
  2. Knead the dough

    Knead the flour with the egg, the water and a pinch of salt until you have a smooth, firm dough. Cover and rest it.

  3. Rest the dough

    Leave the covered dough to rest at room temperature, which makes it easier to pinch by hand.

    20 min
  4. Pinch the csipetke

    Pinch the dough by hand into small pieces roughly the size of peas, and spread them out on a floured board.

  5. Broth and pasta

    Strain the broth, remove the chicken thighs, pull the meat off the bone and return it to the pot. Bring the soup back to the boil and cook the pinched pasta in it.

    5 min
  6. Serving

    Cook the pasta for a few minutes until it floats to the top. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley and black pepper.
