Description
The best pastina recipe ever!
Pastina is my family’s version of windex. Are you sick? Pastina. Is it cold out? Pastina. Bad day? just have some Pastina. It is the ultimate family friendly comfort food. The adults crave it. Toddlers love it and babies devour it. It is a super simple, come together quickly, flavor packed, satisfying meal. Eggs included so, protein! A box of pastina goes a long way so chances are you’ll always have the very few ingredients needed on hand.
Ingredients
