Instructions

Prepare the Italian Sausage Soup:

Step 1

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and crumbled (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 4

Remove the bay leaf before serving, and garnish the soup with fresh parsley.

Make the Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

Step 5

While the soup is simmering, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy Parmesan sauce until fully coated. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
