Ingredients
1 pound Italian sausage
1 cup ditalini pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it into crumbles. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, heat olive oil and sauté the onion, carrots, and celery for about 5 minutes, until softened.
3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
5. Add ditalini pasta and cook according to package directions, about 10 minutes, until al dente.
6. Return the sausage to the pot. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese until melted and heated through.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use hot Italian sausage if you want more spice.
Cook pasta separately if storing for leftovers to avoid sogginess.
Add spinach or kale in the last 5 minutes for extra greens.
