Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pastina (tiny pasta)
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 egg (optional, for a creamier texture)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil the Broth: In a small saucepan, bring the broth to a gentle boil.
  • Cook the Pastina: Add the pastina and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the broth is absorbed (about 5-7 minutes).
  • Add Butter & Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  • Optional Creamy Twist: If using an egg, beat it in a small bowl. While stirring the pastina, slowly drizzle in the egg to create a silky texture.
  • Season & Serve: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade pastina!
