Garlicky overload with this spicy miso pastina! @groovyfoodiess
Ingredients:
-1 tbsp olive oil
-1 head of garlic, about 12 cloves, sliced thinly
-1 tbsp red pepper flakes
-2 tbsp butter
-3 tbsp tomato paste
-2 tbsp miso
-4 cups chicken broth
-1 tsp chicken bouillon
-½ lb pastina
-½ tsp fish sauce
-salt and pepper to taste
-½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Garnish:
-chives
-parmesan cheese
-fried garlic

Steps:
1. In a large pan on medium heat, add in olive oil.
2. Add in your sliced garlic and fry for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove about 10 slices of crispy garlic and set aside to use for garnish.
3. To the pan, add in the red pepper flakes and the butter. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the garlic gets more golden.
4. Next, add in the tomato paste and mix well with the garlic and red pepper. Allow the tomato paste to fry for a bit to bring out more of the tomato flavor, about 1 minute.
5. Then mix in the miso paste to combine. Add in the chicken broth and mix everything together. Bring to a light simmer, for about 5-7 minutes.
6. Add in ½ a pound of pastina and cook for about 12 minutes or until al dente. Be sure to mix regularly to ensure the pastina does not burn on the bottom of your pot.
7. Once the pastina reaches desired texture, add in ½ a cup of Parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
8. Serve immediately with more Parmesan cheese, fried garlic chips, and chopped chives!
