   Once the broth is simmering, add 1/4 cup of pastina to the pot. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

   Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pot and stir until it has melted and is fully incorporated into the broth.

   In a separate small bowl, crack 1 egg and whisk it vigorously until the yolk and white are well combined and slightly frothy.
