🧄 Ingredients:
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage)
– 1 small onion, diced
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tsp salt
– ½ tsp black pepper
– 2 tbsp tomato paste
– 1 tsp dried basil
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
– 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, and tomato paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Pour in crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a low boil.
4. Add broken lasagna noodles and lower heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with a touch of salt and pepper (optional). This will be your “cheesy dollop” for serving.
6. Once the soup is ready, stir in half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese directly into the pot for added creaminess.
7. Ladle soup into bowls. Add a dollop of ricotta cheese on top of each serving, then sprinkle with more mozzarella, Parmesan, and chopped basil or parsley for a fresh finish.
🍽️ Serving Tips:
Pair with garlic bread or a crusty baguette to scoop up every drop. A simple green salad makes a perfect side.
🔥 Pro Tip:
Craving extra richness? Stir in a splash of heavy cream at the end for a creamy twist!
