- 28 ounces crushed san marzano tomatoes

For the dumplings:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, plus additional for serving

Instructions
- In a large pot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add garlic and one pinch red pepper flakes; sauté about 1 minute, until just starting to brown. Add canned tomatoes and their liquid, 3 cups vegetable broth, chopped basil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 7 to 8 minutes.

Roll the dumplings into small balls (about 48). After the soup has simmered, place the dumplings in the soup and cook about 2 minutes until cooked through.
- Thinly slice (chiffonade) a few extra basil leaves, and grate some Parmesan cheese. Serve the soup warm garnished with basil and Parmesan.
