Ingredients
Scale:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef (or Italian sausage)
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Extra shredded mozzarella cheese, for optional topping
Crusty Italian bread, for serving
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but al dente.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Once the noodles are cooked, dollop the cheese mixture directly into the soup and stir gently.
Serve hot, garnished with remaining Parmesan cheese and fresh basil or parsley, and enjoy with crusty Italian bread.
