Overall, this was a delicious, warming soup, but I’d consider blending it up next time.

I was blown away that this recipe was even easier than the soup.

I love cheese, but my only problem with this dish was that the mozzarella melted and then quickly congealed. Next time, I think I’ll skip mixing the cheese into the pasta and instead top the whole dish with shredded mozzarella and broil it for a crispy crust.

I can’t wait to make this duo again.

Even though I made some adjustments along the way to save time, and I’d probably make a few more to suit my taste and texture preferences, I’d absolutely make this “two-fer” duo again.
