Olive oil (or preferred cooking oil)
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) canned tomatoes (whole, diced, or crushed)
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
4 cups chicken broth (or any preferred broth)
1-2 cups water (to adjust thickness)
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 cups bowtie pasta (or any sturdy pasta like macaroni, rigatoni, or penne)
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Fresh parsley, for garnish
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, onions, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.
Drain excess fat and add the canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, broth, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
Add the pasta, bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the pasta is tender. Add water or broth to adjust the consistency as needed.
Once the pasta is cooked, serve the soup in bowls and top with ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley.
If you prefer a leaner option, substitute ground turkey for ground beef.
For a thicker broth, opt for crushed tomatoes instead of diced tomatoes.
You can add vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or carrots for extra nutrition.
To make this in a slow cooker: Brown the beef, onions, and garlic in a skillet first, then transfer everything to the slow cooker, cooking on low for 4-6 hours. Add pasta 30 minutes before serving.
