Pastina Gasiov

Submitted by jakitcfw

"I'm not sure on the spelling, but my Italian grandmother used to make this a lot when we were kids. Apparently it's usually considered baby food, but I still love it! (Pasta cooking time included in the time)"

ingredients

• 1 lb pasta, preferably ancine di pepe

Delicious but make sure to wait a minute for the heat to cool before you mix the eggs in otherwise they scramble; keep stirring quickly for a few minutes to avoid that. Add salt and pepper to taste

I was looking in my pantry with one eye and at 4 hungry teenage boys with the other, this recipe came in quite handy in stretching a little ol' box of pastina into a substantial side dish for chicken! Everything was on hand and it takes no time. I told them it was a pastina risotto but it was much easier! Thanks for posting I am making this one again!!

This is one of my favorite recipes, that I have eaten since I was a baby. We never added the cheese but our recipe is basically the same. It sure is a comfort food.

Great comfort food. Subbed olive oil for the butter, reduced it to 1T and added salt and pepper. Just the thing for a carb craving.
