Pastina! With egg and Parm!

[no_hypocrisy]

It's cold, dark, grey. I need comfort food!

1. Do you cook the pastina then mix in egg or are they separate?

2. First, cook the pastina in chicken stock, until stock absorbed.

Let it cool a minute. Quickly stir in one beaten egg. It makes it creamy, not scrambled eggs.

Sometimes I put in sauteed minced garlic before the egg, to help cool the pasta.

Then the Parmesan is stirred in.

Essentially, that's it.

3. eaten without the egg often here

I keep pastina on hand at all times. There's nothing like a bowl with butter and parm to fix my soul.
