  • About

This delicate, comforting dish almost qualifies as baby food. Use a little more salt and fat than would do a baby good and you have a dish fit for a king.

Ingredients

  • 200 g stellette
  • 450 ml good chicken stock
  • 50 g</

Method

Simmer the little stars of pasta with the stock and butter (and salt and pepper to taste) over a medium heat until the liquid is absorbed and the pasta just cooked. This should be done without a lid on, and a regular stir to prevent sticking.

The cheese can be stirred through just before serving (for a softer taste) or sprinkled on top for something marginally more piquant.
