Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pastina
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh parsley, grated nutmeg, or a squeeze of lemon juice

    • Instructions

  • Toast the pastina in the butter for a few minutes in a pot over medium heat. This enhances its nutty flavor and prevents it from becoming mushy.
  • Warm the chicken broth in the same pot, bringing it to a simmer.
  • Add the toasted pastina to the simmering broth. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the pastina is tender but not mushy. Keep a close eye on it as it cooks quickly.
  • While the pastina is cooking, whisk the egg in a small bowl.
  • Once the pastina is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Slowly drizzle the whisked egg into the hot broth, whisking vigorously to prevent it from scrambling.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it's melted and the soup is creamy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, grated nutmeg, or a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired. Serve immediately.
