This isn't really a recipe, but the basic technique I like is 4-to-1 liquid-to-pastina by weight, or 3-to-1 by volume, but volume measurements will depend on the specific shape of pastina you're using. Bring the liquid to a boil, stir in the pastina, cook until almost done, take it off the heat, season, melt in some butter and cheese, and when the bubbling has fully stopped, stir in an egg or egg yolk.

I don't know why but I never thought in 1,000 years that I would see a prosperous food KZreadr make a recipe video about "Pastina" - The food my mother used to cure all of my illnesses. To me, it is the most humble of Italian pasta dishes and I never thought of it as "food" as much as "something you can stomach when you don't have an appetite" because it's simple and delicious. Thank you for showing everyone this Italian home "remedy"!

What's interesting is that pretty much every culture rely on "porridge with light broth" of various thickness when dealing with feeding the sick. For example, Chinese and Japanese utilize plain congee (differ in thickness - think JP utilize 1:7 ratio instead of 1:14). HongKongers adapted macaroni in broth, etc.

Like what a lot of other people are saying, I did not imagine I would ever see pastina on a cooking channel. Cool, absolutely. Differs somewhat form how my mother would make it, and how I now make it. I make more more of a soup, with plenty of broth, making it creamy with butter, Parm, and Laughing Cow cheese. That's my not so secret ingredient. But, I still end up with the same consistency if I have leftovers lol. The pasta absorbs all the broth in the fridge.

Reminds me a lot of the τραχανάς (trahanas) we eat in Greece. Same basic shape and cooked in more or less the same way (often with tomato sauce and feta mixed in and an egg on top), but instead of just pasta trahanas is made by mixing fresh pasta dough with yogurt and then drying and preserving. It gves any dish that uses it this wonderful tang. It's a fantastic ingredient that sadly does not get as much love as it should in modern Greek cooking.

My nonna used to make pastina for me all the time, not just when I was sick! Although it wasn't as refined as your recipe. It was usually just small pasta (and there's a lot of different kinds) boiled in broth with maybe some cheese and that's it. And I loved it! On the other hand a lot of people I know here in Italy wouldn't touch pastina with a ten foot pole. "Oh, it's hospital food! It's sick/poor/old people food!" I think pastina gets a bad wrap and if your video can make it shine like it deserves it makes me real happy!
The white wine makes a triumphant return!
Morel mushrooms grow wild near me so I get plenty. I like to dry them out, then grind them in a coffee grinder, put the powder in a saltshaker and use the powder as a spice.
Pastina always gives me nostalgic feelings. My mom would make it with butter for me and my brother whenever we had an upset stomach late at night. always hit the spot.
I've been sitting at home with COVID... and watching your vids. The funny coincidence is... I was sitting here this morning wishing my mom was here to make me a bowl of Pastina this morning. She would make it like your fist iteration but without the egg. Happy memories with that. Thanks.
You know, it isn't very often that I actually learn anything from food tubers, but this is the first time I'm hearing about this sort of dish. It must be super common in Italian homes but I don't come from one of those.
This gives me strong congee vibes, especially cause me mummers always fed me that when I was sick.
My nonna used to make this for me when my parents went to work. When I was a toddler I apparently just grabbed fistfuls of it and got it all over, so there are pictures of little me with pastina stars in my eyelashes. Thank you for reminding me to find those with my mom :)
Grew up Sicilian and while every family will make this a bit differently, you brought me back to my childhood. Almost looked forward to being sick as a kid to have pastina with butter and cheese
This was always my moms go to whenever I was sick as a kid. Now as an adult it’s just the perfect easy comfort food. 😊
This video brings back memories of us kids being sick at home and taking a few days off of school. Mom would serve us Pastina boiled in water with butter melted in and a glass of ginger ale and we did indeed pretend it was 'caviar and champagne' lol. Such decadence. To this day I still catch myself sometimes sticking my pinky out when drinking from my cup, and I'm 38 years old now lol.
I might have been happier when I was still curious about the meaning of the ending graphic. But now my brain recites 'Vinegar Leg Is On The Right'. Every time. Every time, Dr. Pavlov Ragusea. I can't tell anymore whether I'm drooling because of the recipe.
Interesting! I never heard of pastina as a savory dish. As a kid I would have it has a sweet breakfast meal where you cook it, drain, add milk (cold milk but the pasta is still hot so it evens out to being warm) and syrup then eat.

I actually drain pastina. I know it's kind of weird, but I just mix it up with butter and salt (mostly when I'm not feeling well) and it is perfect. I have chronic migraines and at some point the headache becomes a catch 22 where if I don't eat I have a headache, but the headaches make me feel sick so I don't eat. I've found only two meals that can solve this issue without making me feel worse. One of these foods being pastina. Guess it doesn't matter how you eat it as long as it tastes good.
Omg! My Italian Grandmother made this for us,yes, when we were sick, she made us pastina , with a little butter and grated cheese stirred in! Pure comfort!
Throw back time! I grew up on pastina and we called my grandmother Nona! An incredibly wonderful woman. Thanks for the memories!
My mom's side is Italian, and I used to have this every time I was sick growing up. I never even considered that it was a specific cultural thing passed down.
I literally was just looking at this pasta and some good recipes. Your time is always impeccable
I am Italian and i approve this video. When feverish, Pastina was the only thing i could eat without throwing up. It has been a long time, i think I will take inspiration from your veggie-pastina and try my own!
I actually make something really similar with orzo, if you brown the pasta before cooking it adds a really good flavor, though you have to be careful not to burn it
My picky boyfriend will love this. With a bunch of veggies. I’m thinking some Spinach, shrooms, shallots, garlic, tomatos, and squash. Gonna definitely give this a try. Thanks!
My greek family made it pretty much the same way. But more stock so it was more like a soup. We also had star shaped just like Adam mentioned. And we ate it with block of feta. Great video.
Oh man I used to do this as a kid, tiny pasta in chicken broth until it made a porridge like consistency and always thought I was insane for liking it! I feel so validated now!

Omg you guys mentioned it on your bonus podcast and I'm so happy for this episode
Great recipe! Looks delish. As an Italian man I still love this dish, always have it with chicken stock (homemade or store bought). I always add olive oil and parmesan and sometimes a couple of slices of processed cheese at the end. It's more of a soup in the way I usually have it (more broth/stock). It's super comfy for cold days ✨
Weird that I earlier this week I was thinking about how my mom used to make Pastina for me when I was sick and that I haven't had it in years. I've never seen it mentioned by anyone online before. I honestly thought it was something her family made up because she told me once that she would eat it when she was sick as a kid also. We are a mostly Italian-American family so it makes perfect sense! Whenever I was really sick my mom would make it with milk for me and I swear that stuff was like magic! Thanks for the nostalgia! Also, never considering making a whole meal out of it. I'll have to try it sometime!
The silky texture from the egg is just like tamago kake gohan, same principle at work!
This one really hits home for me. Growing up my mom would always make me pastina when I was sick or when it was cold out.
Never seen pastina done that way, we always did it in at least 3x the broth you used. Very nice to add some texture to soup.
The Italian side of the family used to push "Dot Soup" for illness, the pasta is cooked in chicken stock, preferably homemade. To this day, I still crave this soup when I'm feeling ill

Definitely need to try this. But when you said “veggies you can buy just one of” and there was celery, I instantly said liar because I’ve never been to a store where the smallest amount of celery you could buy wasn’t like a whole freaking pound.

Here are my unsolicited tips for preserving celery: - assuming the celery you buy at the store has leaves that haven't already gone mushy, as soon as you get home take the celery out of the bag. Shake off excess moisture and then wrap up the celery in paper towel and put it bag in the bag. This will wick away moisture and prolong the life of the celery - instead of breaking off individual ribs of celery, take what you need off the top. Meaning, cut across all the ribs as much as you need. Since the cut part will always degrade fastest, replacing the cut part with a new fresh cut also extends the life. I honestly can keep a bag of celery viable in the fridge for over a week or more.
@mmasque2052

Also, I’ve seen containers of pre-chopped vegetables like celery, onion and carrot. It might be more than you need for the recipe, and definitely more expensive than buying by the bunch, but you could blanch and freeze the leftovers. Or buy the bunch and just use more in your cooking. Onion, celery and carrot are the fundamental building blocks of a whole host of recipes.
Looks like something I will try and enjoy

My grandmother used to make this for me. Chicken broth, parmesan, and butter. I was such a picky kid, she told me it was just plain pasta with nothing in it. I told my mother, who was stuck between the rock and the hard place of keeping up the lie or disappointing me xD
I have recently noticed this pasta in the grocery store and wondered. Neat to see both a preparation style and also the number of peope who have many fond memories of it.

this looks amazing. i always keep pastina on hand because it's my preferred noodle for chicken soup, but this looks like an excellent new way to cook it.

hi i am from Algeria, love your channel we have this kind of pasta too, it is called "berkoukes". it can be prepared with meat and veggies sometimes as a soupe but i like it when it is prepared simply with carrots and chickpea. we used to buy it from a lady who prepare the pasta traditionally by hand and it used to be a tradition in every home now it isavailable at every supermarket.
I do the same technique with orzo. Very good alternative
Breakfast of champions. I grew up on it, as did my kids. Not unknown as a comfort dinner on a cold day. Acini de pepe works well; it's a staple in my pantry.

First time hearing about this version of pasta. Looks cool!
I cooked it today, it was my first time eating this dish and it was super tasty
I respect the fact that dude always shows his “mistakes” and how to fix em that’s pretty badass
Thank you for this.
Used to eat this all the time for lunch when I was a kid. Days off from school were spent at Grandma & Grandpa's house down the street and my grandma would always make a very simple pastina and a skinned hot dog for me for lunch. Her version was super simple. I'm pretty sure it was just the pasta with a little salt and water, with a bit more butter added at the end to make up for not having other mix-ins. I never got the recipe or technique from her before she passed because I wasn't old enough to cook a lot, unfortunately. A few years ago though, I managed to figure out how she did it (or close enough). I expand on it a little but it's in the right ballpark. It's a great comfort food that reminds me of those days.
I've never seen anyone putting butter in pastina, but it looks delicious :)
My mom made a dessert called Frogs Eye Salad using these. It was really good!
