Ingredients
3 cups milk
2 chicken bouillon cubes

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Salt to taste
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 chicken bouillon cubes

Where to find ingredients
Milk and all-purpose flour are pantry staples found at any local grocery store or corner shop. Chicken bouillon cubes (often referred to as 'chicken stock cubes') are widely available in the seasoning aisle of any supermarket. For the mayonnaise, any standard brand found in the condiment section works perfectly. Fresh parsley can be bought at your local municipal market or the fresh produce section of larger supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken bouillon cubes into the milk in a pot
- Stir in the mayonnaise, fresh parsley, and a pinch of salt
- Bring the mixture to a boil until the bouillon is dissolved and the mayonnaise has fully melted
- Take the pot off the heat and dump in the flour all at once
- Give it a quick, vigorous stir so the dough comes together smoothly without any lumps
- Pop the pot back on low heat and keep stirring for another minute or two
- Take it off the heat and let the dough cool down slightly
- Turn the dough out onto a surface lightly dusted with flour
- Roll the dough into long ropes with your hands
- Cut the ropes into small, bite-sized pieces for the traditional Nhoque shape
- Cook the pieces in a pot of boiling salted water
- Fish out the Nhoque as soon as they float to the top of the water
- Drain them well and serve with your favourite pasta sauce
Observations
A simple and effective method for anyone looking to whip up some fresh pasta without the fuss. The key is to stir in the flour quickly to keep the dough smooth and light.
