# Expert Advice:
01 -
- This recipe transforms everything you love about lasagna into a cozy 35 minute meal that does not require an oven or hours of layering noodles and sauce
- The creamy broth infused with Italian herbs feels like a warm hug on a plate and somehow makes even the most chaotic Tuesday feel manageable
02 -
- The noodles will continue absorbing liquid even after you turn off the heat, so if you prefer a thinner soup, hold back about ½ cup of broth and add it back right before serving
- Ricotta can sometimes form small clumps in hot liquid, so whisk it vigorously or press it through a fork before adding for the smoothest texture
03 -
- Use room temperature ingredients when adding the dairy to prevent the cream from curdling in the hot broth
- Grate your own Parmesan fresh from a wedge instead of using pre grated cheese for better melting and deeper flavor
