I just ate...
Well my friend from this Car Forum @jerrypeterson always brought it to meets / BBQ's in WA and I missed it so I asked him once how he makes it?
SUPER easy! Not much too it but it has a good taste
I'll PM ya the recipe
Why Ditalini of course
you know mom & her Dago roots 
My Mom used it in a what I'll call poor man Italian soup she made, similar to Olive Gardens Pasta Fagioli but no hamburger in it, beans , pasta onion, celery and Olive Oil sometimes they used rice instead of the pasta
