Ingredient Notes:
Pastina: Pastina is a variety of pasta consisting of tiny pieces of pasta that are usually round in shape. They are the smallest kind of pasta produced and made with wheat flour and usually egg. It can be great for soup, and a good substitute for rice in this risotto recipe. Asparagus: Asparagus has a great source of nutrients, including fiber, folate, and vitamins A, C, and K. They can be a great addition to a salad, pasta, stirfry, or even just on their own.
How to make pastina risotto:
Roast Your Veggies: Not a fan of steamed asparagus, try roasting! Roast asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper at 425F for 6-8 minutes or until fork tender. If you want a looser risotto, add more water or vegetable stock. Protein: If you’d like to add a protein, top this risotto with chicken, salmon or shrimp, or try your favourite plant based protein. Don’t like asparagus? Sauteed mushrooms would also be a lovely topper instead of asparagus.
