Creamy Pastina Soup with Sausage today @foodbymaria

🍋👩🏻‍🍳Comment ‘recipe’ below if you want the recipe for my Creamy Pastina Soup with Sausage
!! It will be sent directly to your DM’s or tap the link in my bio to access our website. 👩🏻‍🍳🍋

This dish feels like a love letter to comfort food across cultures. It’s a beautiful hybrid. The nostalgia of Italian pastina, the silky lemony warmth of Greek avgolemono, and that rich, creamy depth we all crave from a classic Italian carbonara. Simple ingredients, layered technique, and pure soul in a bowl.

What makes it special isn’t just how comforting it is, but how it teaches you to cook with instinct. You’re tempering, tasting, feeling your way through, trusting the process instead of rigid rules. It’s the kind of recipe that reminds you food doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. Just honest, thoughtful, and made with care.
