  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese and extra 2 tbsp butter.

  4. Let the pastina cool for 4-5 minutes. Then, slowly stir it in the optional egg while continuously stirring the pastina at the same time. Add a little fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon. I always top with a extra parm.
