Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage, breaking up into bite sized pieces, and brown for about 5 minutes. Add onions and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste and stir well to incorporate. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the tomato paste turns a rusty brown color.

Add diced tomatoes, chicken stock and water. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add uncooked pasta and cook until al dente. Right before serving, stir in the basil and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the cheese "filling". In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.

To serve, place a dollop of the filling in each soup bowl and ladle the hot soup over the cheese.

    Can't wait to try this recipe. I know it will be awesome. This recipe looks so good. The only change I'm making is the noodles. I am just going to break up lasagna noodles. Same difference. - 3/23/16
