Pastina
Pastina (Italian: literally, "little pasta") is a variety of pasta consisting of tiny pieces of pasta, typically of a round (irregular) shape with a diameter of about 1.6 millimetres (1/16").[1] It is the smallest type of pasta produced. It is made of wheat flour and may also include egg. In Italy, pastina is a general term referring to many small shapes of pasta. In North America, however, the term pastina is usually used to refer to one type of pastina: "stellina."
