Easy Pastina Recipe
Easy Pastina Recipe 👌🏻❤️ This is a far cry from the sopa de estrellitas I grew up eating but it still has that same element of nostalgia for me…The secret ingredient is anchovies, trust me… They add the most amazing depth of flavor without it being fishy! Bryan hates anchovies and didn’t detect them in the slightest.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Stelline star pasta
- 2 Shallots finely chopped
- 1 Garlic clove minced
- 5-6 Anchovy filets formed into a paste
- 4 1/4 cups Chicken veggie or beef stock (might need a bit more, depending on how dry you want it)
- 1/3 cup White wine
- 2 tbsp Calabrian chiles chopped
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano reggiano
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 10 Basil leaves chiffonade
- Taleggio to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Sauté the shallots with a bit of olive oil on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and anchovies. Sauté 1-2 more minutes.
- Add in star pasta and a touch more olive oil. Sauté until slightly golden. Add Calabrian Chile. Deglaze with the wine.
- Add the stock until absorbed, one cup at a time. Add more stock if needed.
- Once done, add the Parmigiano and basil. Mix and then turn heat off and add butter.
- Serve it with the taleggio on top and black pepper and that is it!
