Nonna's Penicillin! 🇮🇹 #pastina #soup

Pastina is an Italian classic, loved for its comforting, simple ingredients and soft texture. As Giancarlo explains, it’s a staple in Italian households, often one of the first solid foods given to babies by parents and grandparents. Kristen shares its unofficial nickname—”Nonna’s Penicillin”—because of its soothing, nourishing qualities.

In this episode, Kristen follows a viral TikTok recipe for Pastina, cooking the tiny pasta in bone broth, stirring in butter and egg, and finishing it off with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese for the ultimate cozy dish.

Giancarlo also highlights three top-quality Italian pasta brands—Rummo, De Cecco, and Garofalo—which are all made in Italy with the finest ingredients. Plus, they showcase My Butcher’s beef and chicken bone broth, a flavourful and nutritious addition to this classic recipe.

Whether you grew up eating Pastina or you’re trying it for the first time, this video will make you want to grab a bowl and dig in! 🍜🇮🇹
