Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 517kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup pastina pasta or some other similarly small pasta shape
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 1 tbsp. parmesan cheese
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan or pot, add broth and bring it up to a soft boil.
- Add pastina to the broth and simmer until cooked through and the broth is almost completely absorbed, about 7 minutes. You may have to add more broth depending on how much has been absorbed.
- Once the pastina pasta is cooked through, turn off the heat and add one whole egg to the pan. Gently and quickly fold the egg in so that it combines with the stelline pasta and doesn't scramble in too big of pieces.
- Add butter and cheese and allow them to melt. Top with more cheese, salt and black pepper, if desired.
Notes
You may need to add additional broth to fully cook the pastina, depending on the brand of pasta and temperature it is cooked at. I like to have an extra cup on hand, just in case.
