Pastina
  1. To a medium pot, add the chicken broth (or water) and a pinch of kosher salt.

  2. Bring to a gentle boil and once it reaches a simmer, pour in the pastina and give it a stir.

  3. Cover with a lid and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, uncovering and stirring every now and then. We want smooth pastina!

  4. Uncover the pastina and stir in the unsalted butter and parmesan.

  5. Give it a taste and adjust the salt to your liking. If it’s too thick, feel free to add in a splash more of broth. I like it to be the consistency of very wet risotto.

  6. Divide amongst bowls and garnish with more Parmesan-Reggiano and a few rounds of black pepper.
