Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the uncooked pasta, broth, milk, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened, about 12-15 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let the pasta rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to further thicken.
