Silvia Colloca Instagram – Sick day calls for Italian penicillin, aka pastina in brodo.
From my new book ITALIAN FAMILY FOOD.
I can’t believe I waited 7 books to share this recipe!
Serves 4
1 brown onion, peeled and cut in half
3 celery stick, roughly chopped
2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
salt for seasoning
250 gr of baby pasta such as satellite, risoni, orzo or ditalini
a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and freshly grated parmesan cheese for serving
Place the vegetables in a medium sized pot and cover with 3 lt of water and 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook on low for 40 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Place the soft vegetables in the bowl of a food processor fitted with blades along with 1/2 a ladleful of the stock. Whizz until smooth then set aside. Bring the stock back to the boil, add your pastina of choice, stir and cook for 6-7 minutes or until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. By the time the pasta is cooked some of the liquid will be absorbed and you are left with with a thick soupy constancy. Add olive oil and parmesan to your liking, a tablespoon or two of the vegetable purée, and serve hot
