Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground beef or Italian sausage, finely diced onion, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook until the meat is browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes, and the onions are soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in 1 can of diced tomatoes (with juices), 1 can of tomato sauce, and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste for rich flavor.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of water, then add 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  5. Once boiling, add 2 cups of bowtie pasta to the pot and stir to combine. Reduce heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until pasta is tender.
  6. Check the thickness; if too thick, add additional water or broth to reach preferred consistency.
  7. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each serving with dollops of ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
