What Everyone Misunderstood About Pastina

Courtney Kassel is a Brooklyn-based writer and recipe developer with over five years of experience writing and producing food content for various media outlets including Food Network Food52 Paper Magazine and more. She’s driven by the idea of making the most of every meal snack and bite in between. That means staying on top of new trends and product launches constantly cooking and experimenting in the kitchen and spending way too much time on TikTok for “work.” In her spare time she also writes Sifted a newsletter with recipe recommendations and general food musings.

Nowadays we’ve become accustomed to product shortages and discontinuations whether due to supply chain issues costs or other pandemic-related consequences. But there are still announcements that break your heart. I experienced one this week.

Ronzoni the popular pasta brand announced that it would no longer sell Pastina. In an Instagram post on January 4 the company stated that it was discontinuing the product after learning that its regular supplier would no longer be making the mold starting this month. After being unable to find an alternative supplier Ronzoni made the “difficult decision” to discontinue the product.
