Making a delicious Pastina Recipe is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Heat Broth: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Add Pastina: Once the broth is boiling, add the pastina pasta. Stir gently to ensure it doesn’t stick together.
3. Cook Pasta: Allow the pastina to simmer for about 5 minutes, or according to package directions, until tender but still firm.
4. Add Butter: Stir in the unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated.
5. Incorporate Egg (optional): If you’re adding a beaten egg for extra richness, slowly drizzle in the egg while stirring continuously to create a creamy texture.
6. Mix in Cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and combines well with the pasta.
7. Season: Taste the dish and add salt and pepper as needed.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Following these steps will yield a delightful and creamy bowl of pastina ready to warm you up!
