Pastina is such a cozy and comforting meal. This one is sooo flavorful and the egg yolk on top is FIRE🔥. It's lemony, cheesy and absolutely delicious! The mascarpone brings in that creaminess and you will love it. This is one of my favorite recipes to make when I am feeling under the weather because it is quick and easy to make.
Add oil to a pan. Toast the pasta and shallots on medium high for 2 minutes until slightly golden. Then, add in garlic and sauté 3 minutes on medium high, mixing often.
Add stock one cup at a time. Then, add a bit of salt and pepper. Simmer about 9-12 minutes until pasta is al dente. Water will be left over.
Add parmigiano, juice of half a lemon, zest of 1 lemon. Mixing and simmer for 1 more minute.
Mix in mascarpone and butter. Turn off heat and cover to keep warm.
Poach each yolk carefully in hot water for 30-45 seconds.
Serve with more parmigiano, lemon olive oil and black pepper and that is it!
