Nana’s pastina

Step 1

In a large pot, add the broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the pastina to the boiling broth and stir gently. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the pastina is tender and most of the broth is absorbed. You want it to be brothy.

Step 2

Stir the butter into the cooked pastina, then remove from heat and quickly whisk in the beaten egg until incorporated.

Step 3

Add the cheese and stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Spoon into serving bowls. Garnish with cheese and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 5

Serve immediately and enjoy!
