Make the broth
In a large pot full of cold water, add all the leftover veggies that you have. It doesn't matter if you don't have the same as in the ingredients above. Be creative!
Bring the water to a gentle boil, and let the veggies simmer in there for at least 1 hour.
Take off the heat, remove the vegetables from the pot, and filter the broth either in a fine strainer, or through a cheese cloth.
Season with some sea salt and set aside.
Make the pizza noodles
In a small bowl make two flax eggs with 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed and 2 tablespoons of aquafaba. Stir and set aside for 10 minutes.
In a powerful blender, blitz up the stale bread and the leftover pizza. Turn it into crumbs.
In a bowl, add all the other ingredients to the bread and pizza crumbs (flax egg, chickpea water, nutritional yeast, tomato paste, salt, pepper, thyme). Optionally you can add some lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. If the dough is too dry, you can add some water.
Knead the mixture into a dough, and keep kneading for about 10 minutes. Set aside, cover with a damp cloth, and let rest for about 15 minutes.
Cook the pizza noodles in the broth
Bring the broth to a boil and make sure the broth is well seasoned with salt.
Place part of the pizza dough into a potato ricer and squeeze the little warms that come out of it directly into the boiling broth. Those are called passatelli in Italian.
Boil for about 1 to 2 minutes, then serve on a plate in warm filtered broth.
Sprinkle with finely chopped carrot tops (the green top part on top of carrots that looks like parsley). They taste amazing!
