Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef or sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  2. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook until al dente, about 10–12 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and top each with a dollop of the cheese mixture. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier soup, use hot Italian sausage or add extra red pepper flakes.

  • To make it vegetarian, substitute meat with lentils or plant-based crumbles and use vegetable broth.

  • If preparing ahead, cook the pasta separately and add it when reheating to prevent it from becoming too soft.
