Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk, sweet Italian sausage
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
- 9 cups of beef broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 2 cans of peeled, diced tomatoes
- 2-3 large carrots, sliced
- Basil to taste - fresh if you have it
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 8-oz can tomato sauce
- 2-3 zucchinis, (2 if very large), sliced
- 1 full bag of baby spinach
- 8-16 ounces fresh tortellini pasta
- Parmesan or Asiago to sprinkle
Preparation
In stockpot over medium heat, cook the sausage with the onion until nearly all browned.
Add carrots and garlic and sauté a bit longer (enough to finish the sausage and release the garlic aroma, maybe 1-2 minutes).
Add everything else to the pot other than the zucchini, pasta, and baby spinach.
Simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the zucchini, and simmer another 10 minutes. Finally, add the pasta and the baby spinach, and simmer another 10 minutes.
Serve with cheese to garnish.
