Pastina In Broth with Egg & Parm
Pastina In Broth with Egg & Parm
15 minutes total
We love an easy cozy pastina recipe for those days when you are not feeling well or want a warm soup recipe. The total cook time is how long it takes to bring the stock to a boil and cook the pastina in the hot broth.
To save yourself time when you need it, make the broth ahead of time and once cool, store in air tight containers in your freezer.
