Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Pasta

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, crumbled)
  • 1 cup ditalini pasta (uncooked)

Dairy

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Produce

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or basil), chopped

Liquids and Oils

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Sauté aromatics and brown sausage – Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent. Crumble in the Italian sausage, cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, building the base flavor layer.
  2. Step 2: Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer – Pour in the chicken broth, stir to combine with sausage and aromatics. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing flavors to meld before adding pasta.
  3. Step 3: Cook ditalini pasta in the broth – Add uncooked ditalini pasta into the simmering broth. Stir occasionally and cook according to package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes, until pasta is tender but still slightly firm.
  4. Step 4: Stir in cream and Parmesan cheese – Lower heat and slowly pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly. Gradually add freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and soup turns creamy and smooth.
  5. Step 5: Finish with fresh herbs and seasoning – Season soup with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs such as parsley or basil. Stir well, remove from heat, and let rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Brown the sausage well to develop richer, more complex flavor.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melting and texture.
  • Do not overcook the ditalini to maintain a pleasant bite and prevent mushiness.
  • Simmer gently after adding cream; avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
  • Adjust salt and pepper seasoning at the end for perfect balance.
