Heat a pot over medium heat on the stovetop and gently rip the prosciutto into thin pieces and add to the pot.
Cook, stirring frequently until the prosciutto is crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove it from the pot and allow it to drain on a paper towel.
Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring it to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any stuck on bits.
Mix in the pastina and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is al dente, about 6-7 minutes. The mixture should be thickened with little to no liquid left.
Remove the pot off of the heat and slowly add 1/2 cup of the pastina with the beaten eggs, stirring constantly.
Add the egg mixture back to the pot, stirring constantly, until it is completely incorporated.
Mix in the parmesan cheese and black pepper and serve the pastina topped with the crispy prosciutto pieces.
