Ingredients
1 lb. Italian sausage1 c. chopped onions2 garlic cloves, minced1 tsp. dried oregano1 T. tomato paste1 14-oz. can fire roasted diced tomatoes1 bay leaves4 c. chicken stock1 cup mafalda or fusilli pasta2 T. finely chopped fresh basil leavessalt and freshly ground black pepper, to tasteFor Cheese: 6 oz. blended cottage cheese (use immersion blender to blend until smooth) 1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 tsp. salt pinch of freshly ground pepper1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
Add sausage to skillet, breaking up into bite sized pieces, and brown for about 5 minutes. Add onions and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, and oregano. 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, bay leaves, chicken stock and tomato sauce. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add uncooked pasta and cook until al dente. Do not over cook or let soup simmer for a long period of time at this point, as the pasta will get mushy. Stir in basil and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the cheesy yum. In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
To serve, place a dollop of the cheesy yum in each soup bowl, sprinkle some of the mozzarella on top and ladle the hot soup over the cheese.
Serving Size: Makes approximately 8 generous servings
