How can it be legendary if you never heard of it? Damn sheeple. Cry me a river, everything is owned by the same companies operating under different brand names, anyway.
I was introduced to Pastina last year as an Amazon Delivery Driver. A package exploded on me and I had tiny pasta stars all over my van. Had to mark the parcel as "Damaged" and returned it to the station with stars spilling out of it. I was intrigued tho because they were soooo cute (ITTY BITTY STARS YOU CAN EAT OMG) so I went home and googled them and I became hooked. But now I have the sad.
There is a hispanic brand that makes it just the same, they don't come in a box they come in a baggie. It's called "La Moderna" they also have the little pasta letters and one called "semillitas de melon" which translates to "cantaloupe seeds" they look just like it and estrellitas is the name for the pastina.
I also grow whit that, it's similar in shape ngl, but, pastina is way smaller than estrellitas, and in size the most similar to pastina that I could think of is municiones.
@@dashingkaty I thought the mexican version was the only star shaped pasta that existed I literally never seen any other brand with the star shapes!!! My earth is shattered...my day is ruined.
This product discontinuation reminds me of when a certain chalk maker closed shop after hundreds of years and teachers, professors, & lecturers were in a panic and truly heartbroken.
“Pastina” is a broader category of tiny pasta that also includes acini de pepe and orzo. What they mentioned here is “stelline” (little stars), a type of pastina. It just so happened that stelline was the only type of pastina widely available in the US, and the “pastina” name referring to just that shape of pasta stuck.
This is new to me but I imagine it absorbs flavour from chicken broth well and bulks out soup. Almost low a savoury porridge? This seems like home comfort food
🤔 My question is, why can’t Ronzoni just find/get a contract with a new supplier for the Pastina? If Barilla makes it, I don’t see what the problem is. It just seems more like a corporate decision to make one less product.
If what they said was true, the notice might have been short enough to where they couldn't switch suppliers seamlessly. So it's discontinued now with no promise of returning, but it very well just might in a few months or something when a new supplier is equip
This was the pasta my mother would make and bring to the hospital when I had cancer. It was the only thing I could stomach after my treatments. It will be severely missed
Never heard of it. But it's funny how the company that has its name on a food product is saying they're discontinuing it because the ones that actually make it aren't gonna make it no more
I’ve been through something similar. Have you had a favorite something discontinued or a discontinued menu item? Here’s mine: 1.) King Vitamin Cereal 2.) Sunbest Biscuits with Currants 3.) Denny’s Lunch Dagwood
That's what I got from this report. I guess I always assumed if you were a pasta company you were making your pasta in your own factory with ingredients you purchased in bulk. I'm truly shocked that they buy pasta from a supplier and private label it. Now I'm wondering how much pasta really costs 🤔. 😆
Walmart carries it in the Hispanic aisle. 47 cents a bag. I stocked up on my last trip. I use half a cup with bullion when getting over being sick. Better than crackers
It's available on Amazon, not sure for how much longer and it's expensive, the Ronzoni brand is like $25 for a box and the Barilla brand is $35 for 3 boxes. I honestly don't think it's that serious though lol.
Omg lol on Amazon Italia the Barilla ones (never heard of Ronzoni here) cost 11 euros (12$) for 12 box. At the shop you can find a box for 70/80c For the price you mentioned i would rather buy a box of lasagne sheets and carve out little star with a scalpel one by one
I discovered Ronzoni's gluten-free spaghetti pasta a couple of years ago. Once I made it and realized that it was my favorite gluten-free pasta, I could no longer find it at the local market. I haven't seen it since. What is up with this company?
This is the first time I ever heard of these cute little pasta stars. I send my condolences to the people who will miss them. Mars ceased production of the Topic last year and I have not been the same. Why do they do this to us?
welcome to my world - I can't tell you how many foods I've loved, which have been discontinued, or had ingredients changed/added to them, such that I can no longer eat them
My grandma's Italian and I can tell you all three of my kids I have a sixteen-year-old I have a three-year-old and a four-year-old and they all ate it with eggs. You cook it up you make it really sick and that you break eggs into it and it's like egg fried rice kind of. It is still good
"NO SOUP FOR YOU" -Rozoni, definitely not doing a market scheme. I'm sure they'll magically find a new supplier, considering they never even clarified why they stopped in the first place.
I've never heard of this nor seen any recipe use this as an ingredient. I've never even seen a pasta like this in a grocery store. I do feel for all the people that love it though. It always sucks when something you love or use regularly gets discontinued. I grew up eating these bomb sandwiches from a place that closed down a few years ago, and it still makes me sad that I'll never get another one. RIP, Quigs hot Italian roast beef. 💔
my mom would and mommom would always make it for me when i was sick! perfectly bland for an upset stomach, add some butter and you felt better instantly!
Well that's depressing. I haven't seen pastina in Kentucky at all for 5 years. When I couldn't resist the craving I ordered Barilla online but wasn't the same as this brand :(
My condolences. I don’t eat this much but we all have those comfort foods that our mothers and grandmothers made for us and now as adults we make for ourselves and our families so I fully understand.
@@ngp5772 Right, I don't think that was in question. If you don't buy Ronzoni pasta, this discontinued item is not a big deal to you. They mention in the clip that Barilla has a comparable pastina that will be on shelves.
Ronzoni is the only one discontinuing it. You can still get it. Obviously it's Italian for those who don't know what it is. You can make it alone with butter or you can put it in soup. It's been around for a hundred years. Prince and Barilla still make it. Nothing like driving people to hoard more.
I never really bought it. I thought of it as a pasta for making "chicken and stars" soup from scratch. Sad to see a staple go though. It seems like the recipe she showed here could be done with couscous or orzo (or the Barilla alternative).
Exactly. I always thought of them as a chicken soup add-in more than anything else. What she did with the pastina here is basically what I do with couscous sometimes.
Hey!! Not Pastina, don’t forget *Penne* too!!! I was looking for it too!! It’s my favorite pasta shape! But I can’t find it anywhere at the supermarket!! What else other shape of pasta will also discontinue? If this keeps discontinue, *we will disappointed to the pasta company* .
They were advertising it as heart healthy. It's just reg pasta or maybe it's whole grain. But normal white pasta isn't a very healthy food. It gives carbs and energy but that's pretty much it.
I always hate when things get discontinued even if it’s something I don’t eat or use
Why that's like a hoarders mindset.
I don't know or eat this
Then make it yourself lol
Haha!
I have never heard of or had this but now I want it really bad
Never heard of it but thoughts and prayers going out to consumers in these trying times.
Lol
😂 👏
Never heard of this. Is this real
😂
😂 right?
I grew up eating pastina. My Nonna made the best. She put eggs in it. Straight up comfort food. Always made it when I was sick.
Same .
Eggs in with the pasta? Like scrambled eggs?
@@Sunshine-is_here_to_stay yes, she would mix into the broth while heating.
I found some on eBay for a low low price of $99.98 + $5.99 shipping
Omg! We would make something similar! It's so good.
Never heard of this pasta, but it's sad to see another legendary staple of old school consumers discontinue.
How can it be legendary if you never heard of it? Damn sheeple. Cry me a river, everything is owned by the same companies operating under different brand names, anyway.
It's only in America you can buy these off the shelf..
Never heard
@@bstaznkid4lyfe392 explain
Honest to I God I've never heard of this either. They don't sell that around anywhere I've...ever been it seems lol

@@AnaDiaz-wz4cf yep, I buy the Mexican brand. 40 cents at Walmart.
@@abbylynn8872 I like the Mexican brand shells and macaroni too
What a great little story! Vignettes from daily life that warm the heart.
I never had this brand growing up but we did have the Mexican brand pastas with the same shape and size called "estrellitas" or "little stars".
Lucky for us that one is not discontinued 😂😂
I also grow whit that, it's similar in shape ngl, but, pastina is way smaller than estrellitas, and in size the most similar to pastina that I could think of is municiones.
@@dashingkaty I thought the mexican version was the only star shaped pasta that existed I literally never seen any other brand with the star shapes!!! My earth is shattered...my day is ruined.
Yes I’m Mexican it looks very similar to we eat it with as a sopa
Yes. That's the one I grew up on. Now I'm curious what the gringo version tastes like and if there's any difference
This product discontinuation reminds me of when a certain chalk maker closed shop after hundreds of years and teachers, professors, & lecturers were in a panic and truly heartbroken.
Was it the Japanese chalk brand Great Big Story made a video on? I love that video it’s so entertaining
**cough**Hostess**cough**
I don't even know what a pastina looks or tastes like, but it's sad to see a childhood favorite be discontinued.
Right, it's always sad to see anyone's childhood favorite get discontinued.
Italian moms make it for us when we aren’t feeling good. Such a comfort food. Kind of like congee 😢

Never heard of this but have had Orzo about a dozen times.
Great! First time I ever heard of it, now I want to try it, but it no longer exists. Story of my life.
Super Mario Popsicles :(
Yeah I want to try this in all sorts of soup
🤔 My question is, why can’t Ronzoni just find/get a contract with a new supplier for the Pastina? If Barilla makes it, I don’t see what the problem is. It just seems more like a corporate decision to make one less product.

Cause then they can't come back new and improved. This is a stunt
As long as they make pasta they can make stars-with the proper molds.
I've only eaten pastina a handful of times, but the little stars were so tiny and adorable. Thank god Barilla is still making it.
I love how sad I am about hearing things being discontinued that I never knew existed
This was the pasta my mother would make and bring to the hospital when I had cancer. It was the only thing I could stomach after my treatments. It will be severely missed
Never heard of this before. But it always sucks when things get discontinued. You can’t escape the passage of time and the changes that come with it.
I'm still waiting for them to bring Orbitz back.
I found it at the corner store yesterday and brought all 3 boxes they had left. My kids and I love it.
Never heard of it. But it's funny how the company that has its name on a food product is saying they're discontinuing it because the ones that actually make it aren't gonna make it no more
I’ve been through something similar. Have you had a favorite something discontinued or a discontinued menu item? Here’s mine: 1.) King Vitamin Cereal 2.) Sunbest Biscuits with Currants 3.) Denny’s Lunch Dagwood
I thought no brand was ever gonna make it again 🙄🙄 a lot of other brands still have it
Sounds like i need to start a company that makes this product....Fast. Seems like lots of very loyal customers would be very happy.
I work at a posts factory. I can tell you 90% of pasta on shelves is the same with different packaging.
That's what I got from this report. I guess I always assumed if you were a pasta company you were making your pasta in your own factory with ingredients you purchased in bulk. I'm truly shocked that they buy pasta from a supplier and private label it. Now I'm wondering how much pasta really costs 🤔. 😆
I've never heard of these, but Moderna makes a similar product. It's usually sold in the Mexican section of the grocery store.
I love that inside edition goes from “these people were f***ing murdered in cold blood” to “what’s happening to this pasta stuff?” Within like a week
You Gotta mix it up I guess....
FYI: There is a mexican brand you can find in any latino supermarket
Walmart carries it in the Hispanic aisle. 47 cents a bag. I stocked up on my last trip. I use half a cup with bullion when getting over being sick. Better than crackers
I like the little letter ones and the melon seed versions.
There is many different brands doing exactly the same pasta.Ppl dying of hunger dont forget that.
Btw Thanks for the recipe, looks delicious.
ITS GOING OUT BECAUSE 90 PERCENT NEVER HEARD OF IT
😂
They never gave a legitimate excuse as why their supplier is doing this
To surge up the price
Never heard of Ronzoni's Pastina, but I'm in total shock that it is being discontinued.
My mother always made chicken and escarole soup with this type pasta
Mexican groceries have these but in bags. Different brand but just as yummy
I’ve never heard of this pasta before or had it.
Don’t fret people. There’s still many other brands that make it!
I’ve bought Ronzoni pasta in a few occasions. I use Barilla protein pasta now.
literally nobody asked
Barilla is peak
Pastina was my favorite pasta! I had so many memories of my mom making it for me and then when I grew up i still made it for myself😭😭
It's available on Amazon, not sure for how much longer and it's expensive, the Ronzoni brand is like $25 for a box and the Barilla brand is $35 for 3 boxes. I honestly don't think it's that serious though lol.
Omg lol on Amazon Italia the Barilla ones (never heard of Ronzoni here) cost 11 euros (12$) for 12 box. At the shop you can find a box for 70/80c
For the price you mentioned i would rather buy a box of lasagne sheets and carve out little star with a scalpel one by one
This is the issue we want to start 2023 off with inside? 😂
I discovered Ronzoni's gluten-free spaghetti pasta a couple of years ago. Once I made it and realized that it was my favorite gluten-free pasta, I could no longer find it at the local market. I haven't seen it since. What is up with this company?
Never thought pasta would make people emotional
Italians duh.
@@TheeRighteousOnee r/woooosh thats the joke!
Yep I ate it after having my daughter it was so good. I still have a box I brought back from Italy.
Does anybody know if Ronzoni pasta is any good? I've never seen the brand in California. Must be an east coast thing.
There’s a shop selling rest in peace Ronzoni pasta bottles 😂😂
This is the first time I ever heard of these cute little pasta stars. I send my condolences to the people who will miss them. Mars ceased production of the Topic last year and I have not been the same. Why do they do this to us?
There still making them just gotta buy a different brand
Never used Ronzoni, mostly use Barilla. Barilla still sells the stars
Where’s the explanation for the reasons for this popular item to become discontinued, what kind of report is this?
Well you can always buy the ones sold in small bags we call estrellitas. The brand is called La Moderna
I remember eating these as a kid. It was nostalgic seeing it again...for the last time.

"NO SOUP FOR YOU" -Rozoni, definitely not doing a market scheme.
I'm sure they'll magically find a new supplier, considering they never even clarified why they stopped in the first place.
Back in the Delaware County area in the 80s-90s my grandmom would make this for me in the winter when I was sick. Fond memories.
It’s back!! Just picked up 4 boxes at my local Shop Rite.
I heard once that Hostess says they were gonna be discontinuing their snack products. But few months later they came back.
TIME TO PANIC OVER PASTA!
Have they started making it again?!
*I’ve legitimately never heard of this type of pasta in my entire life*

You never know- maybe by popular demand Ronzoni Pastina could have a Twinkie like comeback
Well that's depressing. I haven't seen pastina in Kentucky at all for 5 years. When I couldn't resist the craving I ordered Barilla online but wasn't the same as this brand :(
Pastina is a home cooked favourite soup Italian mothers make when you’re sick. Hopefully we can still find it in Canada
I never eat some Pastina in my life. Does she still have a recipe from this video?
This is literally a cultural staple for all Italian Americans, Nonna makes "pastine" when you're sick🇮🇹❤️🙌🏽
You can still buy it on eBay for substantially more.
@Glockenspiel yes. 🙄
How I felt about Tangerine-flavored Redbull. Cherry Dynamite Swishers.
Blue Fanta. A whole lot of the good things,
get discontinued.
😆 🤣
Except this was actually good.
Lisa Guerrero would confront the pasta
My condolences. I don’t eat this much but we all have those comfort foods that our mothers and grandmothers made for us and now as adults we make for ourselves and our families so I fully understand.
There is a cheap brand close to the Mexican foods that makes something similar to this…try it and I promise you won’t know the difference
My grocery store (safeway) isnt even selling ronzoni anymore. they recently had them 3/1.00 clearance
They have diff brands like that in star shape...even añphabet ...it's a Mexican brand ...
Hopefully, this will cause “the Twinkie effect”, and they’ll bring it back
First, we had the Choco Taco.. Now, Pastina? It’s literally all of ours comfort foods! What’s up with 2022 and 2023 with all the discontinuation?
I think I may have heard of Ronzoni Pastina but I never ate it.
I’m used to Ragu & Barilla.
Same. except the last part
@@kbando3539 Same. except the first part
ragu is a brand as is barilla...ronzoni is a brand and pastini is a type of pasta

The fact they never tried making it at home 😂
Never heard of the brand
They will bring it back. When they do, the price will have increased by a substantial amount for the novelty alone.

Other brands make pastina. So what’s the issue?
It's 3:07AM and I'm buzzed. I've never heard of this pasta brand before. I am so devastated at this loss.
Yes this is what we should be in panic mode about
😂💯
Sad to hear that Ronzoni is being discontinued.
it's not you should watch the actual video
My Grandmas used to always make it whenever I would go over to her house when I was kid. Sad to see a childhood food go.
As a italian myself, this is an italian tragedy
I never really bought it. I thought of it as a pasta for making "chicken and stars" soup from scratch. Sad to see a staple go though. It seems like the recipe she showed here could be done with couscous or orzo (or the Barilla alternative).

There's other brands than Ronzoni though, it ain't going extinct.
N better brands
Idk if it’s because I’m Canadian, but I’ve never heard of this😅
Canadian here, same, ig it's an US brand
i’m in puerto rico and nope, never heard of this lol
It's just pasta just hammer your pasta if you want it as tiny as that..
🤣💯
Relax people. There's another brand that does it and they're the exact same flavour and shape. The company has the alphabet ones too.
Exactly. I always thought of them as a chicken soup add-in more than anything else. What she did with the pastina here is basically what I do with couscous sometimes.
Noooooo I used to always eat that when I was was sick. It’s such a comfort food
Is it really any different than barilla

If this keeps discontinue, *we will disappointed to the pasta company* .
I think that's just a shortage. I can't imagine penne going anywhere.
I'm pretty sure some other company gonna be making it so just chill
I haven’t purchased it in years, used to make it for my son when he was a baby.
Reminds me of the tiny size "Chiclets Gum" I liked as a kid in the 1960s/70s.
Those were so good. They came in a yellow packet.
They were advertising it as heart healthy. It's just reg pasta or maybe it's whole grain. But normal white pasta isn't a very healthy food. It gives carbs and energy but that's pretty much it.
I'm indisblief that anybody cares.
Just by grits. What's the problem?
You can still get it on Amazon.
