Notes
To get the perfect bite in every spoonful, break the pasta into equal-sized pieces. If using regular beef broth, start with a little salt and adjust at the end. Stir occasionally to ensure flavors meld. Do not skip the heavy cream for a velvety texture. Fresh basil leaves or red pepper flakes make excellent garnishes.
