Ingredients
1 ½ pounds sweet Italian sausage
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 small onions, chopped
2 (16 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes
1 ¼ cups dry red wine
5 cups beef broth
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 zucchini, sliced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 (16 ounce) package spinach fettuccine pasta
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweet Italian sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks. Brown the sausage, then add minced garlic and chopped onions. Sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Add the two cans of whole peeled tomatoes, dry red wine, and beef broth to the pot. Season with dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes.
Add the sliced zucchini and chopped green bell pepper. Cook for another 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in fresh parsley and the cooked spinach fettuccine pasta. Cook for a few more minutes, then serve hot.
Notes
For a heartier soup, feel free to add more vegetables like carrots, celery, or spinach.
If you prefer a spicier soup, use hot Italian sausage or add red pepper flakes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze for longer storage.
