Steps
- 1
Set a large pot over the heat. The creator notes that using a pumpkin-shaped pot is optional.
- 2
Add the onion to the pot with a small pinch of salt and black pepper, and sauté.
- 3
Push the onion to one side of the pot. Add the ground beef to the open space and let it brown before turning it.
- 4
Turn the beef, break it up, and mix it together with the onion.
- 5
Add the grated garlic, oregano, and Calabrian chilies.
- 6
Add the tomato paste and cook it down until its color deepens.
- 7
Pour in a splash of red wine to deglaze the pot.
- 8
Add the bay leaf, then stir in the beef broth and marinara sauce.
- 9
Bring the broth to a simmer, then add the acini di pepe.
- 10
Cover and simmer, stirring often so the small pasta does not stick to the bottom. Add more beef broth as needed if the pot looks dry.
- 11
When the pasta is nearly done, pour in the cream and continue simmering until the pasta finishes cooking.
- 12
Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the Parmesan and a few dollops of the ricotta-cheese mixture.

- 14
Serve with a large dollop of the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan mixture on top.
Notes
The creator says the full recipe is linked in their bio, but no ingredient quantities are provided in the supplied source. The video gives no simmer duration or heat setting; add broth as needed to keep the pot from looking dry. The cheese mixture's preparation is not described, so combine the named cheeses only as needed for the topping. A couple spoonfuls of the cheese mixture stirred into the soup are specifically recommended in the description.
