  • Pour in vegetable broth, cover with lid and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium until you have a gentle boil.

Notes

  • Note one - Make it Gluten-Free: By using gluten-free spiral pasta.
 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 3-4 days.
