Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef

Liquids and Tomato Base

  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water

Pasta and Cheese

  • 8 ounces uncooked bowtie pasta
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Add ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add Liquids and Seasonings: Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, water, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Simmer Soup: Lower the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 15 minutes to develop the flavors.
  5. Cook Pasta: Add uncooked bowtie pasta to the simmering soup. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes, until pasta is al dente.
  6. Add Ricotta Cheese: Stir in the ricotta cheese until fully incorporated into the soup, adding a creamy texture.
  7. Serve with Toppings: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top before serving for a fresh finish.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or Italian sausage for different flavor profiles.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken broth or cook a little longer uncovered.
  • Use gluten-free pasta to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Reheat leftovers gently to avoid overcooking the pasta.
