Pastina.

Pastina

Pastina is tiny pasta! We cook it in chicken broth and stir in parmesan cheese and butter. It's warm, cozy and oh-so delicious. Simple and nourishing! Season with salt and pepper and enjoy.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup pastina
  • 3 cups chicken or beef broth
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium pot over high heat, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
  • Add the pastina and reduce the heat to medium. Stir occasionally and cook until most of the broth (about 80%) is gone. The pastina should be fully cooked by then.
  • Turn off the heat. Add the grated parmesan cheese and butter to the pot. Stir gently to mix.
  • Ladle into individual bowls. Top with more grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Eat hot and enjoy.
