# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everything you adore about lasagna in under 40 minutes
- The broken noodles create perfectly slurpable pieces that catch all the creamy broth
- Uses up leftover chicken or a store bought rotisserie like magic
02 -
- The noodles continue soaking up broth as they sit, so this soup thickens up quickly in the refrigerator
- Stirring the ricotta directly in instead of leaving it as a dollop creates that velvety restaurant style texture
- Breaking the noodles into uneven sizes actually works better than perfect uniform pieces
03 -
- Use room temperature liquids to prevent the cream from potentially separating when you add it
- Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre shredded bags for the smoothest melt
