  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 crushed tomatoes 28-ounce can
  • 1 diced tomatoes 15-ounce can, undrained
  • 6 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • small bowl

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then add ground meat and cook until browned, draining excess fat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, add chopped onion and cook until softened, then stir in minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and broth, then stir in dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes; add broken lasagna noodles and cook uncovered until al dente (10-15 minutes).
  5. While noodles cook, combine ricotta cheese, half of the Parmesan, parsley or basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  6. Ladle hot soup into bowls, top with a dollop of ricotta mixture, and sprinkle with mozzarella and extra Parmesan, if desired.

Notes

For a spicier soup, increase the amount of red pepper flakes. You can also add a splash of red wine with the tomatoes for extra depth of flavor.
