- Add Italian seasoning and tomato paste; stir and let paste darken slightly (1 minute).
- Pour in broth and tomato sauce; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10–12 minutes.
- Add broken noodles and stir often to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente, about 8–10 minutes.
- Stir in parmesan and chopped basil. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Ladle soup into bowls. Top with a spoonful of ricotta and extra parmesan. Let rest 2 minutes before serving.

Notes
Use low-sodium broth so you can season perfectly at the end. Stir noodles often to prevent sticking. For meal prep, store ricotta separately and reheat with a splash of broth for best texture. Freeze base without dairy or noodles and add fresh when reheating.
