serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

2 cups Acini de Pepe or smallest pasta available
4 1/2 cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup grated Cheddar, Gruyere or other sharp cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
salt and pepper

directions

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add pasta and cook at a simmer until tender, about 10 minutes, adding more liquid if necessary. Liquid should be mostly absorbed when done cooking. Add butter and stir to melt.

Remove pan from heat and stir in cheese and egg until cheese has melted and egg is no longer raw. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
