Notes
The pasta in this dish absorbs the liquid very quickly. If you aren't eating it in one sitting and want the leftovers to be soupy you will need to cook and store the pasta separately. Reheat the soup mixture and only add pasta to each serving after it is mostly warm. To keep the cooked pasta from sticking together you can toss it in a little olive oil before storing it in the refrigerator.
