Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 1/2 lb Spicy Italian Sausage casings removed
  • 1 Large Yellow Onion chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried Basil
  • 28 oz Crushed Tomatoes 1 can
  • 6 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 8 oz Mafalda Pasta or other short pasta
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large Dutch oven or pot
  • 1 Large Pot (for pasta)

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and Italian sausage, cook until browned, then drain excess grease. Add onion and cook until soft (4-5 mins). Stir in garlic, oregano, and basil; cook for 1 minute more.
  2. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly darkened. Add crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 20 minutes to let flavors meld. Stir in heavy cream just before serving.
  4. While soup simmers, cook pasta in a separate pot of salted water according to package directions. Drain well.
  5. In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Place cooked pasta in individual bowls. Ladle soup over the pasta. Top with a dollop of the ricotta mixture and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: For the best leftovers, store the soup and pasta in separate containers in the fridge.
Tip 2: Don't be afraid to let the soup simmer longer than 20 minutes; the flavor will only get deeper and richer.
Tip 3: Using a combination of spicy Italian sausage and ground beef is the key to a truly flavorful soup base.
