  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 0.5 Onion thinly sliced

Equipment

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Combine all ingredients except garnish in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until pasta is al dente and most liquid is absorbed.
  4. Stir well to prevent pasta from sticking and ensure even cooking.
  5. Remove from heat, let stand for a few minutes, then serve hot with optional garnishes.

Notes

For an even richer flavor, you can add a splash of white wine along with the vegetable broth. Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
