1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb ground beef or sausage
1 small onion, diced
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
4 cups beef broth
8–10 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional)
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1 cup ricotta (for topping)
Fresh basil or parsley, to garnish
Heat oil in a large pot. Sauté onion and garlic, then add ground meat and brown fully.
Stir in tomato paste, seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook 1–2 minutes.
Add crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil.
Add broken lasagna noodles. Simmer 10–12 minutes until tender.
Stir in mozzarella and parmesan if desired.
Serve hot with a scoop of ricotta and fresh herbs.
For best texture, cook pasta just until tender. Add spinach, beans, or mushrooms for variety.
