Pastina, also known as “Italian Penicillin,” is truly soup for the soul. This pesto version is a comforting meal, and you can customize it with an egg, ricotta, grated garlic, and lemon to your liking.
1. Bring your chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of butter, and a pinch of salt to a boil.
2. Add in your pasta and stir. Cook for about 10 minutes, or according to package instructions, stirring occasionally.
3. Add in your ricotta, pesto, Parmesan, and garlic. Stir to combine.
4. Add in an extra knob of butter (optional) and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Top with more fresh Parmesan, black pepper, ricotta, and a drizzle of your favorite olive oil. Enjoy!
