Stelline, meaning "little stars" in Italian, is a type of tiny star-shaped pasta originating from Italy. Commonly used in soups, it is made from durum wheat semolina and water, with some variations containing eggs for added richness. Stelline is a versatile ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, often favored for its quick cooking time and ability to complement broths and vegetable-based dishes. Rich in complex carbohydrates and low in fat, it provides a steady source of energy. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation; pairing it with nutrient-dense ingredients like lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and healthy fats can enhance its health benefits. As with most pasta, moderation is key to preventing excessive caloric intake, especially when combined with heavy sauces. Stelline's petite size makes it ideal for children or lighter meals while offering a comforting texture and mild flavor to suit a variety of palates.
