Pastina!!

Okay so, we all took the Holiday Weekend to relax, now it's back to the old bump-and-grind and that means, back to blogging!

I had a request from a friend to write something about Pastina and I thought that, since this is the first Pasta that most (okay ALL) Italian kids eat, it would be most fitting. So, here goes...

After talking to my Grandmother, I learned that she used to boil the Pastina, then mix it with an egg and some grated cheese and the heat from the pasta would cook the egg. I know that for myself, I have done butter and cheese. Big surprise, huh? Also there's the old stand-by, just tomato sauce and cheese. Pastina is also a great addition to any soup. Although, I recomend boiling it separate and adding it to the soup after it's done.

Of course, like everything else, name brands count! Especially with pasta!

How do you like your Pastina?
