Notes I had to try this because it was hard to believe that I could put everything in the pot and come out with something edible. Well, it is fantastic! It will become a staple. It has an almost risotto effect as the water is absorbed into the pasta. I think other vegetables could be added. I also suggest a cooked protein towards the end to just be heated or I think shrimp added halfway through would be sensational.
