added about 1 year agoSince you boil the pasta in it, and then reserve 2 cups, I would guess that you need the same amount of broth as you would water if you were just boiling the pasta in water - probably at least 4 cups, if not a little more.
I probably use about 6 to 8 cups of broth when I'm boiling that much pasta. If you're short you can certainly make up the difference with water although it won't be as flavorful.
