1 (14.5-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes with garlic
½ (6-ounce) can tomato paste

½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt

In a large (12 quart) pot over high heat, brown sausage, about 5 minutes. If the pan is too dry (add a splash of the chicken broth).
Meanwhile prep remaining ingredients.
Once sausage is mostly cooked though add tomatoes, paste, sauce, seasoning, onion powder, salt, pepper and chicken broth. Stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil, about 7-10 minutes.
Add pasta and boil, uncovered, until it is al dente, 7-9 minutes. Turn off heat. Add ricotta, parmesan cheese and ½ mozzarella. Stir to combine.
