NOTES

• For those concerned about the enzymes, there are vegetarian parmesan’s! 🙂
• Adding a lid makes it boil faster, just keep an eye on it so that it doesn’t overboil.
• If the soup boils, rather than simmers while cooking the pasta, the broth will evaporate faster and you may need to add more broth (or water – which will affect the flavor) to compensate for the loss of liquid.
