Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 2 Carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 Celery stalks, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 28-oz can Crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Small pasta noodles (like ditalini or elbow)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and Italian sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking the sausage into crumbles, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the pot.
To the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the cooked sausage back into the pot. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
After 20 minutes, stir in the small pasta noodles. Simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
