  • 8 oz tomato sauce 226 g
  • 4 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt plus additional to taste as needed
  • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper plus additional to taste as needed
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
  • 2 ½ cups dry Mafalda noodles 140 g/5 oz
  • 2 cups chopped fresh spinach 35 g

Cheese Topping

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 113 g
  • 8 oz whole milk ricotta cheese 226 g
  • cup grated parmesan (or parmesan romano) cheese 40 g
  • 2 oz cream cheese softened, optional, 55 g
  • 1 Tablespoon finely chopped parsley plus additional for garnish, if desired

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion and cook until softened and translucent. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  • Add Italian sausage and beef, crumbling while you cook, and cook until browned (I do not drain any grease).
  • Add chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper, if using. Stir well.
  • Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, and add pasta. Cook for 10 minutes or until noodles are tender.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and allow to simmer for 15 minutes (this is a good time to prepare your cheese topping).
  • Add spinach and cook until wilted. Serve soup, topped with a dollop of cheese mixture.
  • Cheese Topping: Stir together mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, and cream cheese along with parsley. Dollop over soup before serving.
