Ingredients
Method
- 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.
