Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1–2 tablespoons Olive Oil, or preferred oil
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1 large Onion, diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 (15-ounce can) Diced Tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15-ounce can) Tomato Sauce or tomato puree
  • ⅓ cup Tomato Paste (about half of a 6-ounce can)
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1–2 cups Water, to adjust consistency
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, or more as needed to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Pasta

  • 8 ounces Bowtie Pasta (uncooked) or similar sturdy pasta

Toppings

  • ½ cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 2 ounces Mozzarella Cheese, shredded (about ½ cup)
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, shaved, shredded, or freshly grated
  • ¼ cup Fresh Parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil and Brown Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the diced onion to the browned beef and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Tomato Ingredients and Broth: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, and tomato paste until well combined. Pour in the chicken broth and add the Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir everything well to blend flavors.
  4. Simmer Soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for 15 minutes to develop the flavors and slightly thicken.
  5. Add Pasta and Adjust Consistency: Stir in the uncooked bowtie pasta and add 1 to 2 cups of water as needed to adjust the soup’s consistency to your liking. Simmer for an additional 12-15 minutes or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve with Cheese and Parsley: Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Use sturdy pasta like bowtie or rotini to prevent the pasta from getting mushy in the soup.
  • Adjust water quantity based on your preferred soup thickness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but pasta may absorb more liquid over time.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with plant-based crumbles and use vegetable broth.
  • Adding red pepper flakes can give the soup a spicy kick.
