Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or use ground turkey for a lighter option.
- 1 large yellow onion, diced adds sweetness to the base.
- 3 cloves garlic, minced for a burst of flavor.
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes or use diced tomatoes for a chunkier soup.
- 4 cups beef broth chicken broth works too.
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning for that classic Italian flavor.
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste.
- 1/2 tsp black pepper for a little kick.
- 8 oz uncooked pasta (like rotini) or use gluten-free pasta.
- 1 cup ricotta cheese for creaminess.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese plus more for topping.
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped for garnish.
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with the remaining mozzarella and fresh basil. Enjoy the cheesy goodness and watch your family smile!
