Ingredients

1–2 tablespoons olive oil (or preferred cooking oil)

1 pound ground beef

1 large onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce or tomato puree

3 ounces tomato paste (about ¼ cup)

4 cups chicken broth

1–2 cups water (to adjust consistency)

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon sea salt (or more, to taste)

Black pepper, to taste

8 ounces uncooked bowtie pasta (farfalle)

Suggested Toppings

½ cup ricotta cheese

2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about ½ cup)

¼ cup Parmesan cheese (shaved, shredded, or grated)

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.

  • Add diced onion and garlic; sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

  • Stir in diced tomatoes with juices, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Mix well.

  • Pour in chicken broth and add Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  • Add uncooked bowtie pasta and reduce heat to simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, about 10-12 minutes. Add water as needed to adjust soup consistency.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  • Serve hot, topped with dollops of ricotta, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, and fresh parsley.

Notes

Substitute ground beef with ground turkey or Italian sausage for variations.

Use gluten-free or whole wheat pasta for dietary needs.

Add chopped spinach, kale, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and texture.

Fresh basil or oregano can replace Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.

To keep pasta from getting mushy, cook it just until tender and add more when reheating leftovers.
