Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 1 pound hot Italian sausage

  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage

  • 2 sweet onions, chopped

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

  • ¾ cup water

  • 1 (48 ounce) can beef broth

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with basil

  • ½ cup sweet wine (Optional)

  • 2 sprigs fresh basil, or to taste

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese, or more to taste

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste

  • 1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add hot and mild sausage; cook and stir until sausage is browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Add onions; cook and stir until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir in garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

  2. Add tomato paste and water; stir well to combine. Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, wine, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, 25 to 30 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.

  4. Mix ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  5. Divide pasta among serving bowls; spoon some of the ricotta cheese mixture on top. Ladle soup over cheese mixture.

Tips

Use fresh or frozen basil, or substitute 3 bay leaves if you prefer. Discard bay leaves before serving.

I never cook the pasta in the soup — it gets mushy quickly, doesn't freeze well, and soaks up all the soup broth.
