❗️GRUB RECIPE: ADULT PASTINA + CHICKEN CUTLETS ♥️ This one feels like home...Nostalgia at its core. Full recipe below! Pastina with butter is a childhood champion and while I was obsessed as a kid, I wanted to elevate it to an adult taste level as I got older. My Moms will always be the best though! 🤓 ✔️ The smooth, sultry flavors are a jackpot combo & truly never fail to feed the soul. Biggest rule though? It’s always paired with chicken cutlets. I make cutlets a bunch of different ways, this time it was a thicker, spicier version... it’s a juicy ride of great taste and flavor. 📌 ADULT PASTINA & BUTTER RECIPE: 1️⃣ Boil water and add in one box of Pastina, cook to al dente. Remove and strain. Toss with a bit of olive oil so it doesn’t clump. 2️⃣ In a large sauté pan, melt half a cup of Kerry Gold butter with salt, pepper, thinly sliced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Once butter is melted and warming, add in 5-8 hand shredded basil leaves. Stir. 3️⃣ Add in 1/4 a cup of cream and stir, mixing into butter base. 4️⃣ Add in Pastina slowly. Mixing and coating entirely with sauce. Keep on low heat. 5️⃣ Add half a cup of Parmesan cheese and mix. Add in tablespoons of cream. Mix. Repeat this step until you get a firm but creamy Pastina. 6️⃣ Fold 5-8 hand shredded basil leaves into finished pasta. 7️⃣ Serve and ENJOY 😋 📌 THICK FRIED CHICKEN CUTLET RECIPE: 1️⃣ Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, cayenne, salt and pepper to raw chicken breast. Both sides. 2️⃣ Dip into a mixture of whisked egg and cream. 3️⃣ Dip into seasoned Italian breadcrumbs. 4️⃣ Put a large frying pan on low-medium heat, add in olive oil, sliced shallot and chopped garlic. Wait for garlic and shallot to start sizzling. 5️⃣ Add breaded chicken cutlets into frying pan, cooking on both sides until inside is at 165 degrees and outside is golden brown. 6️⃣ Remove chicken from pan, let it sit on paper towels to get excess oil. 7️⃣ Serve alongside Pastina ✔️ 👉 Grubfam, save this one for rainy days, when you’re feeling under the weather or overall just need something to feed the soul. Much love ✌️ #TheGrubfather #Recipes #ItalianAmerican
