I did 4 cups of broth and added other veggies (mushrooms, bell pepper, bok choy, green onions) and cilantro. Without those this recipe would have been very boring. I did like that it was a nice light meal, but still didn't love it. Will try again adding some other seasoning to the broth and see if that helps. If not, probably not a keeper.

When boiling water for the pasta, start with hot tap water and cover the pot with a lid. This is a surefire way to speed up your cook time. Serve this pasta dish with Black Pepper–Garlic Flatbread to soak up the basil-infused broth.
