1. Get the ingredients ready:
Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Please provide the text you would like me to simplify. Cook the Pastina:
Stir in the uncooked pastina and let it cook directly in the broth for 6–8 minutes, or until tender. Stir from time to time to avoid food from sticking.
4. Include the Egg:
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently. Pour the whisked egg slowly into the soup while stirring all the time to make thin ribbons or "egg flowers."

Mix the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and blends into the broth, making the soup richer.

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serving Suggestions:

Consejos:
Personalized Soup Base: Use broth made at home for a tastier and more genuine taste.
For Children: Kids love the small pastina shapes, so this dish is great for families.
Remaining food: The soup will thicken as it cools due to the pasta. When you heat it again, add more broth or water to get the thickness you want.
