Ingredients
Soup:
-
2 teaspoons olive oil
-
1 ½ pounds bulk Italian sausage
-
3 cups chopped onion
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 teaspoons dried oregano
-
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
-
2 tablespoons tomato paste
-
6 cups chicken stock
-
2 (15 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
-
2 bay leaves
-
1 (8 ounce) package rotini pasta
-
½ cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cheesy Yum:
-
8 ounces ricotta cheese
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage in hot oil until slightly brown and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Stir onion in sausage; cook and stir until softened, about 6 minutes.
-
Stir garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes into onion mixture; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook and stir until mixture has a brick-red color, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Pour chicken stock, diced tomatoes, and bay leaves into pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until flavors combine, about 30 minutes. Add rotini to pot and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain. Stir in basil and season soup with salt and black pepper.
-
Stir ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pinch black pepper in a bowl until well-combined.
-
Place a dollop of cheese mixture in the bottom of a soup bowl. Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over cheese mixture and ladle soup over the top. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture, mozzarella, and soup.
