Let's Make 'Italian Penicillin' With Julia Molinari!

No matter what the problem is, many people turn to "Italian penicillin" for comfort, and Julia Molinari has just the recipe!

The 19-year-old content creator shares tons of tasty recipes on TikTok, and recently shared one that's her easy-to-make "comfort" meal.

For many people, pastina is a favorite comfort food. Molinari has an easy-to-make recipe that adds a "secret ingredient," and she recently shared it in a now viral TikTok video.

"Today's been a long day. I really just need some good Italian comfort food," she said. "We're gonna make some Italian penicillin."

What you'll need for this recipe: a box of pastina noodles, chicken stock, a small amount of chicken bouillon, parmesan cheese, butter, parsley and one egg, which happens to be Molinari's "secret ingredient."

First, Molinari puts the chicken stock and pastina noodles into a pot to cook. She adds the chicken bouillon and parmesan cheese while it's cooking and stirs.  She then cracks an egg and scrambles it before adding it into the pot, calling it, "the most important part."

After mixing the egg in, she adds a generous amount of parsley, and "a little bit of butter."

Then it's time to eat! She pours herself a bowl, sprinkles on some olive oil and seasoning before diving in!

"This will cure any negative feeling, sadness, sickness, you'll ever feel in your life," she said. "You can have my word for that."

Molinari's pastina video received more than 1.5 million views and tons of comments. Many comments are about how "beautiful" the content creator is, and others talk about the power of pastina.

"Pastina makes everything better, everybody knows that," one viewer wrote in the comment section. Another added, "Every time we were sick my dad would make pastina."

One viewer shared, "OMG! Pastina and egg... I thought only my nana made that."

Another viewer suggested one other way to make pastina, "You should try boiling carrots, celery and onion til it gets soft before you add pasta stars. Then take ‘em out, blend them til smooth and add it back too chicken broth. Then add pasta and your egg."

One follower wrote, "Will someone please give this girl her own show already?"

Molinari, a Rutgers University student, not only shares recipe videos on TikTok, but also shares photos of her life on Instagram.

Last July, she shared a carousel of photos on her 19th birthday simply captioned, "19." The post is tagged in Atlantic City, New Jersey and shows her in her hotel room while visiting the area to celebrate her big day.

Lots of birthday wishes were left in the comment section for her. One was from her parents who own Molinari Italian Restaurant in Neptune City, New Jersey.

"Happy 19th to my Baby B, Julia and my Baby A, Tristan! Wishing you a new chapter filled with big dreams, dancing, travel and amazing food! Love you!" her parents shared.

Many other comments calling Molinari, "beautiful," "gorgeous," and "birthday baddie" filled the comment section.

Molinari is a Jersey girl through and through. She shares photos on Instagram of her time enjoying the sandy beaches of New Jersey. Some posts also show her love for the water and being out on a boat enjoying the Jersey sunshine.

In one post tagged in Sandy Hook, New Jersey, Molinari shows her love for the beach while modeling a bikini captioned, "My job is just beach," which is a nod to the "Barbie" movie. Many people commented on how "stunning" and "gorgeous" she is.

"Modeling should be your job," one viewer wrote. Another added, "Stunning as always."
