Pastina With Cheese
Creamy soft cheese with pastina for a quick meal.
Difficulty Level: easy
Ingredients
- Pastina (the ball-like or star shaped ones work best)
- 25g bel paese cheese (or 2 x dairlylea triangles as an alternative)
- 1 chicken stock cube
Instructions
Fill a medium sized pan roughly two thirds with water and bring to boil on the hob.
get the bowl you’ll be eating from, and pour the pastina into it. This will give you an indication of how much you need to cook. Be mindful that pastina expands when cooked.
pour pastina from the bowl into the boiling water and immediately stir for a few moments.
add chicken stock cube, stir until dissolved or mostly dissolved.
add bel-paese or dairylea cheese, stir until dissolved.
cook on the hob on medium heat for roughly 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Taste pastina to make sure it’s done.
when done, drain excess (not all) water carefully out of the pan, or keep it for a more soup-like dish.
leftovers can be microwaved for a future meal.
