Ingredients
  

Meat and Vegetables
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage Choose based on preference
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
Soup Base
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups uncooked pasta (like lasagna noodles or rotini)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Cheesy Topping
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Half for mixing, half for topping
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese Half for mixing, half for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef or sausage over medium heat. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  2. Add the uncooked pasta to the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the pasta is al dente, about 10-12 minutes.
Serving
  1. In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
  2. Serve the soup in bowls and top each with a scoop of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
  3. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Notes

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. To freeze, cool completely and place in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. For thicker soup, reduce broth. Add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition. Use no-boil lasagna noodles for convenience. Adjust seasonings as needed.
