Mom & Nonna's Italian Penicillin / Pastina

“Italian Penicillin” or Pastina to us, was a staple in our house growing up when we were under the weather. Mom and Nonna made it for us and I swear within a day we were feeling better. They had all the tricks and old wives tales to fix everything. I know if I can be half the mama they were, my babies will be alright! :)
