This Italian Angel Hair Pasta soup is really just noodles and broth but the final flavor is bigger than the sum of its parts. It is very tasty and handy when your cupboard is getting bare or you just want something quick and easy. If you don’t have angel hair pasta, use spaghetti. To make it easier to eat in the bowl, you can break the dry pasta in half before cooking.
Ingredients
3 quarts chicken broth
1 pound angel hair pasta (1 box dry)
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh rosemary or parsley
