Steps

Brown the meat in a large pot over medium-high. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes, then the garlic and tomato paste for 1 minute.

Add the tomatoes, broth and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.

Add the noodle pieces and simmer, stirring often, 10 to 12 minutes until tender.

Mix the ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan in a small bowl.

Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with a big spoonful of the cheese mix and some basil.

TipThe noodles keep soaking up liquid, so add broth when reheating.
