This was grandma’s cure-all. Fever? Pastina. Long day? Pastina. Just hungry? Still pastina. Tiny pasta pearls floating in warm broth, a drizzle of olive oil, and that magical steam that smells like someone cares. Simple. Healing. Perfect.
1️⃣ In a pot, bring 🍲 broth to a gentle boil.
2️⃣ Add 🍝 pastina and cook until tender (about 6–8 min).
3️⃣ Stir in 🫒 olive oil or butter.
4️⃣ Season with 🧂 salt if needed.
5️⃣ Serve hot, topped with 🧀 cheese and 🌿 parsley if desired.
