Servings 3 people
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb pastina
- 10 garlic cloves sliced
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 - 3/4 tsp chili flakes adjust as needed
- 4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- olive oil
Instructions
- In a pot over low heat, add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the chili flakes and tomato paste. Cook down the paste for 4-5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Once at a simmer pour in the pastina.
- Mix the pastina frequently to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Cook until the pasta is al dente. If the pasta has absorbed too much broth or if too much has evaporated, feel free to add a splash more of broth to loosen it up.
- Turn off the heat. Toss in the Parmesan cheese. Mix to combine and serve.
