Pastina is commonly know as "Italian Penicillin" because it allegedly can cure almost anything! Pastina is a tiny star-shaped pasta that cooks into the most delightful, wonderful little bite. This version features Red Gold Tomato Paste and Red Gold Crushed Tomatoes for a bright tomato flavor that complements the richness and comfort of the pastina. So cozy and delicious!   @alexawhatsfordinner   @thefeedfeed
