Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef (or Italian sausage)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Pasta and Cheese

  • 2 cups uncooked pasta (lasagna noodles or any preferred shape)
  • 8 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the meat: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef or sausage until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat to keep the soup from being greasy.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Then stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
  3. Add tomatoes and broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth, stirring well to combine with the meat and onions. This forms the flavorful base of the soup.
  4. Season the soup: Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture up to a boil to marry the flavors.
  5. Cook the pasta: Once boiling, stir in the uncooked pasta. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover the pot. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Incorporate the cheeses: Stir in the ricotta cheese until it smoothly melts into the soup, creating a creamy texture. Then add half of the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses, stirring to combine.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove the pot from heat. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses along with fresh basil or parsley for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

  • Use either ground beef or Italian sausage depending on your preference for flavor.
  • Any pasta shape works, but lasagna or similar flat noodles are closest to traditional lasagna texture.
  • If the soup thickens too much while cooking, add extra broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on the stovetop.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute meat with finely chopped mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
