Stelline (lit. 'little stars'; sg.: stellina), also known as stelle (lit. 'stars'), are a form of pasta of tiny size. Made of wheat flour and in most varieties also containing egg, stelline are produced in different sizes, and are characterized from a star shape with a hole in the centre.[1] Their use is recorded in multiple 19th century dictionaries.[2][3][4][5] Like other varieties of pastina, they are mainly used for soups, and are also employed as ingredients in some types of salads.[1][6]
