Pastina, a tiny star-shaped pasta that is cooked like pasta cooked in chicken broth with veggies and cheese . This Italian penicillin soup recipe wasn’t just recipe; it is a memory wrapped in nostalgic warmth. This is like a hug from Nonna Rosa. Pastina is a baby’s first food and an older person’s last meal. In between, it’s just perfect comfort food. The fever would retreat, and my spirits would lift.
