Stelline “Little Stars” 

Tiny, star-shaped and utterly charming, Stelline are one of Italy's most beloved soup pastas — and a firm favourite with children and adults alike. These little stars are traditionally used in light broths and minestrinas, where they cook quickly and add a delightful texture to every spoonful without overwhelming the delicacy of the soup.

Drop them into a simple chicken or vegetable broth for a classic Italian minestrina, add them to a light tomato soup, or use them in any preparation where a small, tender pasta shape is called for. Quick to cook and endlessly comforting, Stelline are one of those simple pleasures that never go out of fashion. A staple of the Italian kitchen, and a guaranteed hit at the family table.
