Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients: Ensure you have everything ready to streamline your cooking.
  2. Dice the onion and mince the garlic: This will enhance the flavor complexity of the dish.
  3. Measure out the canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth: Keeping these handy will simplify the cooking process.
  4. Chop the parsley: This will be used for garnishing when serving.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic; cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart. Cook until browned, about 7–8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Add the canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning blend, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Add the uncooked bowtie pasta and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
Serving
  1. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the ricotta cheese until melted and creamy.
  2. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. Garnish each bowl with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  4. Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the delicious aroma!

Notes

For extra flavor, sear the ground beef until crispy before adding other ingredients. Swap bowtie pasta with your favorite gluten-free pasta to make it suitable for gluten-sensitive diets. To save time, prep onions and garlic the night before and store in the fridge. Add more veggies like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition. Let it simmer a little longer for a deeper flavor if time allows.
