Ingredients

Scale

Proteins and Aromatics

  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Tomatoes

  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or beef broth

Pasta

  • 6 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces

Cheeses

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings and Herbs

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat and Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or Italian sausage along with diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally to break down the meat.
  2. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir well to combine all the savory bits from the bottom of the pot and build a rich base for your soup. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Incorporate Broken Lasagna Noodles: Break your lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add them directly to the pot. Stir to prevent noodles from sticking and ensure even cooking, then cover and let simmer until the noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. Stir in Cheese and Seasonings: Once the noodles are cooked, reduce the heat to low and gently mix in ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. This step makes the soup wonderfully creamy and cheesy.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs and Adjust Seasoning: Finish with freshly chopped basil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir once more and serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or herbs if you like.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for better aroma and flavor compared to pre-minced garlic.
  • Don’t overcook the pasta; keep noodles tender but slightly firm.
  • Add cheeses at the end to prevent curdling and keep soup silky smooth.
  • Simmer gently on low heat to meld flavors without reducing broth too much.
  • Double the batch for meal prep or feeding a crowd; it stores well refrigerated or frozen.
