Oh friends! This one brought back too many memories and I was thrilled that my girls love it just as much as I did as a kid.
Pastina was given to us when we weren't feeling well or just needed to warm up or just because we were hungry.
I remember eating it at my aunt's house with my cousin- we couldn't get it enough!
I decided to try making it and it became an instant hit. Sharing the recipe with you below.
Disclaimer: I have doubled or tripled my recipe in recent weeks because the girls are demanding leftovers...ha! Hope you try it and enjoy
Ingredients
½ cup Acini di peppe or any tiny pasta shape.
1 ½ cups Chicken broth
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Butter
Pepper to taste Optional
Instructions
In a sauce pan add the chicken broth and the pasta.
Cook the pasta over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes until most of the liquid has been absorbed and pasta is al dente.
In a bowl, whisk the egg and parmesan cheese until you get a uniform paste.
Remove the pasta from the heat and use a whisk to stir the pasta as you add the egg mixture.
Add the butter and keep stirring until it has dissolved.
Sprinkle more parmesan cheese and pepper. Serve and enjoy.
