1-2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or your preferred cheese)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg (optional)

- Cook the Pastina:
Bring the broth or water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the pastina and cook until tender, usually about 5-8 minutes, or according to package directions. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. - Add Ingredients:
If using, remove from heat and stir in the beaten egg, allowing it to cook in the residual heat. Add the butter and cheese, stirring until melted and combined. - Season and Serve:
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately in a bowl, optionally topping with extra cheese or a sprinkle of black pepper
