Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Stir in the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Stir in the elbow macaroni or pasta. Cook according to package directions, or until the pasta is tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

You can add a dollop of ricotta cheese to each bowl before topping with mozzarella and Parmesan for an extra creamy texture.
