  • 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
  • 2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage and break up into small, bite-sized pieces, browning for 5 minutes. Add in onions and cook for 2 more minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and tomato paste, stirring well to make sure that paste is fully incorporated and cook for another 3 minutes.
  2. 2
    Add the diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring soup to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add uncooked pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Stir in spinach and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. 3
    While the pasta is cooking, prepare the ricotta blob by place ricotta, shredded cheese, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mixing to combine (I just combined everything into the ricotta container so that I could store the leftovers easily).
  4. 4
    To serve, scoop some of the ricotta blob into each soup bowl, ladle the soup over the blob and the sprinkle with extra cheese.
