Notes
When cooking Chicken Pastina, it's important to stir the pasta occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of cream or more cheese near the end of the cooking process. Adjust the seasoning to taste, and feel free to add more vegetables like carrots or spinach for added nutrition and flavor.
