Description
A cozy, spoonable version of classic lasagna with tender noodles, savory beef, and creamy ricotta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Chop the onion and mince the garlic so they are ready to add.
- Add the ground beef to the pot and brown it, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, water, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the boiling soup. Reduce the heat and simmer until the noodles are tender, about 10–12 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, and stir in the ricotta cheese until melted.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with mozzarella, Parmesan, and fresh basil. Serve hot.
Notes
For a lighter version, use lean ground turkey or chicken. Experiment with no-boil noodles or make it vegetarian by using mushrooms and veggie broth.
