Pastina is also the name of an italian dish, pastina with egg and cheese. There is another pastina recipe called chicken pastina soup.

Popular pasta brand, Ronzoni, recently came out saying they were discontinuing this shape, which has caused quite the uproar. Other brands still carry pastina, it just may take some searching.
