Steps to Make It

1. Start by browning the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Cook it until it’s nicely browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon. This step adds rich flavor to your soup.
2. Next, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté them until the onion is translucent, around 3-4 minutes. The aroma will fill your kitchen and make your mouth water.
3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together for about 10 minutes.
4. Add the uncooked pasta to the pot. Cook according to the package directions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. While the pasta cooks, mix the ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella in a bowl. This cheesy mixture will add a creamy layer to your soup.
6. Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the ricotta mixture until it’s well combined. The soup should be beautifully creamy and inviting.
7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with the remaining mozzarella and fresh basil. Enjoy the cheesy goodness and watch your family smile!

Make It Perfect

• For extra flavor, try adding a splash of red wine when you sauté the onions and garlic.
• If you want a bit more spice, toss in some red pepper flakes when you add the Italian seasoning.
• This soup is perfect for leftovers; just reheat gently on the stove.

Mix It Up

• Swap out the ground beef for Italian sausage for a different flavor.
• For a vegetarian version, use lentils or mushrooms instead of meat.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with a side of garlic bread for a complete meal.
• A simple green salad pairs nicely to balance the richness.
