This soup is super easy to make, and trust us when we say it will be a hit in your home!
For the pasta, you can use Mafaldine. We used lasagna noodles that we snapped into smaller bite sized strips.
Add some red pepper flakes for some heat, and don‘t forget to top off your bowl with a scoop–or two– of that delicious cheese mixture, freshly cracked salt/pepper and basil!"
