Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (80g) Small pasta stars (Stelline)
  • 2 cups (480ml) Low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 pinch (1g) Salt
  • 2 tbsp (28g) Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup (25g) Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pinch (0.5g) Black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Pour the chicken broth into the saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the small pasta stars. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently for 6–8 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but still holds its shape.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cold butter and grated Parmesan cheese vigorously until the fats melt into the starchy broth, creating a glossy finish.
  4. Season with black pepper and serve.
