Tucci:I love it in a soup, and with butter and cheese.
When you got sick when you were a kid in an Italian household, thats what you had.
It was chicken soup with pastina, or pastina with butter and cheese.
Especially if you had a stomach issue.
EatingWell:Do you have any recommendations on the best way to include pastina on the table?
Best drink to pair with it?
Its just part of the culture.
Tucci:There are a lot of them.
Or a lasagna Bolognese or something like that.
EatingWell:What are some pantry staples that you always have on hand for easy meals?
Risotto rice, polenta, pasta and any kind of vegetable.
it’s possible for you to do a million things with all of that.
EatingWell:Do you have a dream dinner guest?
Tucci:I would love to talk to Michelle Obama.
