Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage (optional, for vegetarian version, omit meat or use plant-based protein)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 1 cup dried lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients and preparing them as specified for a smooth cooking process.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent. If using ground beef or Italian sausage, add it now and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth, stirring well to combine.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles, dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer.
- Let the soup simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Adjust thickness by adding more broth if needed.
- Stir in the ricotta or cottage cheese, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top just before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meat or substitute with mushrooms, lentils, or plant-based proteins.
- Use zucchini noodles for a low-carb alternative.
- Add grated Parmesan cheese or a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
