We're obsessed with pastina. The tiny shapes mean that whatever you cook it with feels really cosy and comforting. We cooked this one in a lemony, creamy chicken stock and topped it with pesto for a light, summery meal.

    Delicious! We’ve made this 5 or 6 times now. Our 2 year old also loves it which is always a plus!

    It was super tasty! The hardest part was dicing the celery/onions/carrots 😂, which means the dish was fairly easy to make. Would definitely make it again!
