Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 35 mins
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp Borsari Olive Oil
• 1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 6 cups chicken or beef broth
• 2 Tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tsp Borsari Italian Herb Seasoning
• 1 tsp Borsari Savory Seasoning
• 1 tsp sugar (optional, balances acidity)
• 2 cups uncooked pasta (mafaldine, fusilli, or broken lasagna noodles)
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Brown the meat: Heat Borsari Olive Oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Sauté aromatics: Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
3. Build the base: Stir in crushed tomatoes, broth, tomato paste, Borsari Italian Herb Seasoning, Borsari Savory Seasoning, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Cook the pasta: Add pasta directly to the soup and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Finish with cheese: Stir in ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan until melted and creamy.
6. Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

Pro Tips

• For even more flavor, swap ground beef with spicy Italian sausage.
• If you prefer a chunkier soup, hold back some mozzarella and sprinkle it on top of each serving instead of stirring it all in.
• Serve with garlic bread for the ultimate comfort meal.
