Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef or sausage (or turkey for a lighter option)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes, canned
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • as needed Fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat over medium heat and cook the ground beef or sausage until it’s nicely browned.
  2. Add in the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the mixture is softened and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, bringing it to a gentle boil.
  4. Toss in the broken lasagna noodles, reducing the heat to let it all simmer until the noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Stir in the ricotta cheese until it melts and is fully incorporated into the soup.
  6. Serve hot! Ladle it into bowls, topping each with shredded mozzarella cheese and fresh basil.

Notes

Serve with garlic bread or a simple salad. Add a dollop of pesto or red pepper flakes for extra flavor. For storage, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Freeze without cheese for longer storage.
