Ingredients
  

1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice), casings removed

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 cup ditalini pasta

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for sautéing

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Sausage: In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

    Cook the Aromatics: In the same pot, add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with juice), cooked sausage, dried basil, and dried oregano. Stir well to combine.

        Pasta Time: Bring the soup to a boil. Add the ditalini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

          Make it Creamy: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Add the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy warm with crusty bread!
