Never heard of Pastina until I met my Italian husband. It has been a staple in our house for 40 years. The only thing we eat when sick or after any medical procedure or surgery. It was our three children's first food and grand children's first food. 😊 Sorry to hear about your mom. Hope she gets well soon. Pastina smells like love and home 😉
My mother passed away last December..she would not eat very much towards the end...but loved it when I made her Pastina...it was the only thing she would eat. Miss her..reminds me of my childhood as well..😢
Great episode. Thank you and thank you for no Italian accents or foolishness. I find those insulting after awhile. Your recipes and episodes are excellent and professional. Glad I found your channel. James. I’m 100% Italian and proud of my heritage. Thank you again.
Prayers for your mother. My wife always has me make her pastina when she is sick. Either make it with butter and parmesan or chicken stock with carrots like a soup. We cant find it in Texas so we have her mother bring it from Florida when she visits.
Sorry to hear about your mom. Hope she gets better soon. Will keep her in our prayers. Another excellent video. Made meatballs recently following your recipe but cooked all of them in the oven before putting them in the gravy.
Hi Chris, hope your mom gets well soon and back with her family!! You are a good son!!! 🥰 I have always loved pastina but never cooked it this way!! I’m going to try it, sounds like comfort food to me. So glad you did a video, was getting worried! Congrats on your growing number of subs! 🎉. Hi Tina!!
Definitely will need to try this. Looks so simple and good. Question: is it a no no to make this with some kind of protein? I.E. served over chicken or shrimp maybe? Have you made it with meat before?
Made this last night for dinner and your spot on. It’s so simple but was so delicious! Only thing different I did was added that better than bouillon paste in the boil, and cooked up some chicken thighs to throw in. I’ll be making this again for sure
Yes, I do use that bouillon base a lot as well. It’s actually very good. And, Pastina is a blank canvas as far as what you canto add to it. I like it with little meatballs occasionally too lol. So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks again!
Sounds good, but I would chop it very very small. Pastina is such a small pasta. You don’t want to have big pieces of chicken and small tiny pasta, unless you like that! Thanks again!
God bless your Mom. So many great memories.
Thanks Vinny, miss you and the family…

Yaay great video..my Italian mom made this when we were kids and now I’m gonna make it for my grandson ❤
I’m making it at least once a week lol!
This a brand new dish for me. Good to make in a cold day comfort food. I love it when you finished it with egg, butter , olive oil.
Thank you, hope you enjoy it and don’t forget a little grated Parmesan!
Thanks for this. Saying prayers for your family.
Thank you 🙏

Thanks Tony, dealing with appetite issues as well.
Sorry for your loss my friend
My mom (who was from Naples), made this for us when we were little. ❤
No, doubt!!! ❤️❤️

Thank you Silvia. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for your kindness James, appreciate you Paisano!
This dish most definitely brings back memories of my Nonna 🥹
She was Italian and this was her medicine for me and my sister. 🥰🙏💕
Very nice ❤️❤️❤️
Well wishes to your Mother and family Chris. Thank you for your video.

Thanks so much Joseph for your support, means a ton.
Carrots are a great addition as well!
Looks delish. Thanks for sharing. I will def try.
Thanks Anthony, let me know how you like it!
I didn't have the fortune to grow up eating Pastina, but I plan to make this asap. Many thanks!! My best to your mom.
Thank you Joan, let me know how you like it please!

Thanks so much Tex, we appreciate you big time.
Happy to hear about the meatballs!

Thanks Jorge!
Definitely will need to try this. Looks so simple and good. Question: is it a no no to make this with some kind of protein? I.E. served over chicken or shrimp maybe? Have you made it with meat before?
Absolutely, a lot of people do it with meatballs or sausage, sliced up or what have you. Thanks again!
This is so good
Thanks Hoss!
Very nice🎉
Thanks so much!
I make Pastina the same way. I just bought 12 boxes of it off of Amazon.
Awesome, it is getting hard to find. Enjoy!
Might want to edit ratios at 4:40. One up Stock One Cup Pastina etc.
Good catch, thank you

I’m thinking that the next time I make this, I’m gonna add some rotisserie chicken. 😋
Sounds good, but I would chop it very very small. Pastina is such a small pasta. You don’t want to have big pieces of chicken and small tiny pasta, unless you like that!
Thanks again!
@@godfatherbbqitalian I wish I could find Pastina. I’m having to use orzo.
@@doowile15 that works
So yummy
Thanks so much!
How much broth?
4 cups
@@godfatherbbqitalianso 4 cups broth and 1 cup pastina?
@@LaTraviata41
Yes, that’s the way I make it but if you like thicker, you can use the less broth.
you can always add but you can’t take away.
I WISH YOUR MOM WELL !
Thanks so much
We made it almost the same, always the egg and cheese, butter. Not usually Olive oil ....the best to you and your mom.
Thanks so much!
