Pastina Recipe

[benzie]

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a comforting and simple pastina recipe that I absolutely love. It’s perfect for those days when you need a warm, cozy meal but don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen. This one is a hit in my house, especially on chilly evenings!
Ingredients:

• 1 cup pastina (tiny pasta)
• 2 cups chicken broth (or water)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• A pinch of nutmeg (optional)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pastina:
   • In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth (or water) to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.
   • Add the pastina and cook according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally. It usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Butter and Cheese:
   • Once the pastina is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, reduce the heat to low.
   • Stir in the butter until it melts and coats the pastina.
   • Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it’s fully melted and the mixture is creamy.
3. Season:
   • Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if you’re using it. Adjust to taste.
4. Serve:
   • Spoon the pastina into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
   • Serve immediately while it’s warm and gooey.
     

This dish is super comforting and reminds me of childhood. It's also really versatile – sometimes I add a bit of garlic or even a splash of cream for extra richness. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! If you have any twists or additions, I’d love to hear them.
