Ingredients

• US Customary - Metric


• 4 cups chicken broth/stock


• 2 cups small pasta shapes - pastina/stelline/orzo


• 1/2 stick butter


• 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano cheese


• black pepper


• Salt to taste (you probably won't need any)


• fresh basil (parsley works well too)

Instructions

• Bring the chicken stock to a boil.


• Add the pasta and stir well


• Turn the heat down to a very gently simmer and cook the pasta as per the packet instructions. Ensure you stir it during the cooking as you are only using a small amount of stock. (see notes)


• Once the pasta is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter.


• Use a slotted spoon to divide the pasta between the serving bowls.


• Pour over the chicken stock. (See notes)


• Add the parmesan, plenty of black pepper and garnish with your fresh herbs.

Notes

• To ensure the 4 cups of broth/stock is enough to cook the pasta and leave you with some to spoon over, you need to cook this over a very low heat. This prevents some of the evaporation. If the mixture boils you will find you run out of stock. 


• If this does happen add some boiling water to your pasta, not too much as you will dilute the wonderful chicken flavour.


• When you serve add as little or as much of the buttery stock as you like. It really is a personal preference 😀
