Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 onion finely diced

- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes (San Marzano)

Instructions
- Sauté onions and fresh garlic in olive oil in a skillet. Add sausage/ground beef mix and brown.
- In a stock pot, combine oregano, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, chicken broth and bay leaves. Don't add the pasta and basil yet.
- Drain any excess fat drippings from the meat and add the meat to the soup. Bring the soup to a boil and then simmer for at least an hour, then add the pasta about 15-20 minutes before serving. When the pasta is done add the basil.
- Mix the cheeses, salt, and pepper together in a small serving bowl.
- When the soup is served in individual bowls, add a large scoop of ricotta (at least 2 tablespoons) into each bowl. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Freeze the soup without pasta or cheese for best texture preservation.
- Use an Instant Pot on high pressure for 30 minutes, adding pasta and cheese afterward.
- Alternatively, prepare in a slow cooker by cooking ingredients except pasta and cheese for 3-5 hours, adding pasta and cheese just before serving.
