Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasonings

  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Soup Base

  • 14 ounces can of tomato sauce
  • 14 ounces can of diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1½ cups water

Pasta and Toppings

  • 10 ounces bowtie pasta, uncooked
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish, optional
  • Parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, crumble and cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add Seasonings and Garlic: Stir in the Italian seasoning, onion powder, steak seasoning, paprika, ground black pepper, and minced garlic, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add Tomato and Broth: Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with Italian herbs, chicken broth, and water. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Add Pasta: Add the uncooked bowtie pasta to the soup and cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is tender but still slightly firm. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove the soup from heat. Serve hot with a dollop of ricotta cheese on top. Optionally, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for added flavor and color.

Notes

  • Use spicy or mild Italian sausage depending on your heat preference.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage or sautéed mushrooms and zucchini.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop.
  • Adding fresh basil or oregano can enhance the Italian flavor.
  • Adjust pasta cooking time based on package instructions for al dente texture.
