Irresistibly comforting soup with creamy Parmesan broth and tender ditalini pasta. Easy one-pot recipe ready in 40 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 cup ditalini pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and brown, breaking into small pieces, for 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté diced onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
  4. Add diced tomatoes, chicken stock, basil, oregano, and browned sausage. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Add ditalini pasta and cook according to package instructions, generally 7-9 minutes, until al dente.
  6. Lower heat and stir in heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and blended, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust with salt and black pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Use quality Parmesan cheese, preferably Parmigiano Reggiano, for best flavor and texture.
  • Toast pasta in olive oil before adding for extra nutty flavor layer.
  • Pasta will absorb liquid as it sits, so add extra broth when reheating if needed.
  • Can substitute with mild breakfast sausage or ground beef with added Italian seasoning.
