  4. Add marinara sauce and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
  5. Add uncooked pasta, making sure it is mostly submerged in liquid.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until pasta is tender.

  • Use short pasta shapes for best texture.
  • Let the dish rest a few minutes before serving for best consistency.
