Exquisite Pasta in Savory Broth

Ingredients

- 8 ounces pasta (any variety)
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Gather all necessary ingredients and ensure the pasta is measured and ready for use.

2. Boil the Pasta:
- In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.
- Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions, approximately 8-10 minutes for al dente texture.

3. Prepare the Broth:
- In the same pot, pour 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth.
- Bring the broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

4. Combine & Serve:
