Tip: If you cannot find mafalda pasta, it can be replaced by any short pasta - rotini, fusilli, bowties or even broken fettuccine or long mafalda.

Tip: Garnishing with a few sprigs of fresh oregano, right before serving, gives this dish an enticing appearance and aroma.

Tip: It is fun to shred Parmesan cheese straight from a block but for extra convenience, buy it preshredded in tubs or replace it with grated Parmesan from a shaker.

Other Ideas:

Seen from other Lasagna soup recipes.
- add 6 oz fresh spinach to the last 10 minutes
- put out fresh ricotta cheese (on the table)
