Description
Pastina is your new go-to meal for when you are feeling sick, or just in need of an easy comforting food. With just 4 ingredients, this dish is ready in 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable broth
-
2 cups of water
-
1 cup of pastina (I used Acini di Pepe ,which is a small pearl-shaped pasta*)
-
⅓ cup grated parmesan
-
2 tablespoons of butter
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, bring water and vegetable broth to a boil.
-
Once boiling, add pasta. Cook until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. For the Acini di Pepe, it was 9 minutes. For smaller pastina, this may be quicker – around 5 minutes.
-
Remove from heat, and stir in butter and grated cheese.
-
Divide into 4 bowls, and add salt and pepper to taste.
