Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef or sausage over medium heat. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and cook for another minute. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and broth; bring to a boil.
  4. Add broken lasagna noodles and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until noodles are tender.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and top with a dollop of ricotta, a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use Italian sausage for a spicier version.
  • Make it vegetarian by substituting meat with mushrooms or lentils and using vegetable broth.
  • Cook the noodles separately if you plan to store leftovers to avoid mushy texture.
