Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 32 ounces chicken stock
  • 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup uncooked ditalini pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Kosher salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • shaved Parmesan and freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the pot over medium heat. Add diced yellow onion along with a couple large pinches of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 6-8 minutes. They’ll start to brown a bit and caramelize – this is good!
  2. Add 6 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
  3. Move the veggies to the outside of the pot, creating a well. Add one pound ground beef and a couple pinches of salt and pepper to the center of the pot and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook, crumbling the beef with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Use the grease from the beef to deglaze the pan and scrape all the yummy bits off the bottom.
  4. Stir in 32 ounces chicken stock, 28 ounces crushed tomatoes, 1 cup uncooked ditalini, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper.
  5. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Stir frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the large pot.
  6. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with shaved Parmesan and freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

    • Keep Stirring. Stir the soup frequently while simmering to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

    • Spice it Up. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne for some heat.

    • Pasta Variations. If you use a larger cut of pasta (like penne or rotini) you can use 2-2.5 cups of dried pasta instead.
