N.J.’s beloved pastina is back after 2-year hiatus! Here’s where to get it.

Two years after disappearing from the shelves, one of New Jersey’s most beloved pasta shapes is back.
Pastina, the tiny star-shaped pasta that has long been an Italian comfort food staple, is one again being produced by Ronzoni. The return comes after the pasta company announced in January of 2023 it was being discontinued after its supplier stopped making the shape and an alternative could not be found.
