Instructions
In a large stock pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and break up into small pieces while browning it. Add onions and cook until they are soft. Add garlic and oregano and stir it in. Add tomato paste and mix it in. Cook until tomato paste turns a rusty brown color (3-4 minutes). Continue stirring.
Add fire roasted tomatoes, bay leaves and chicken stock. Mix well. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
While that cooks, boil water in a separate pot. Cook pasta to al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the soup is simmering, prepare the cheesy goodness. In a small bowl combine cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
To serve: Place a glob of cheesy goodness in the bottom of each person's soup bowl. Add soup over the top and add in pasta. Optional: Add mozzarella to the top. I like to serve this soup with mini grilled cheese sandwiches or garlic bread! Enjoy!
