Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 pound ground beef, turkey, or sausage

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Tomatoes & Liquids

  • 28 ounces crushed or diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Pasta

  • 6 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces

Cheeses

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese (dollops)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Seasonings & Herbs

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat and Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Toss in diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent to develop a rich flavor base.
  2. Add Tomatoes, Broth, and Seasonings: Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth, stirring well to combine. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let everything simmer for about 10 minutes to let those flavors marry beautifully.
  3. Stir in Broken Lasagna Noodles: Break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add them directly to the pot. Cook uncovered until noodles are tender, usually about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Finish with Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and stir in dollops of ricotta cheese for creaminess. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top and cover the pot, allowing the cheese to melt perfectly into the warm soup.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add fresh basil or parsley if you like, for a pop of color and fresh aroma. Ladle into bowls and enjoy the cozy, cheesy goodness immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and herbs to enhance flavor.
  • Watch the noodles closely to avoid overcooking and mushiness.
  • Simmer the soup gently to deepen and meld flavors.
  • Don’t skimp on ricotta or mozzarella for rich, creamy texture.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings during cooking as needed.
