Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage

  • 1 yellow onion, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

  • 5 cups beef or chicken broth

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp dried basil

  • ½ tsp dried oregano

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

  • ¾ cup heavy cream or half-and-half

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ cup ricotta cheese (for serving)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot, brown the meat. Drain excess fat if needed.

  • Add onion and cook 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook 1–2 minutes.

  • Add crushed tomatoes, broth, herbs, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.

  • Add broken noodles and simmer 12–15 minutes until al dente.

  • Lower heat and stir in cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Remove bay leaf.

  • Season to taste. Serve with a dollop of ricotta and fresh herbs.

Notes

To make ahead, cook noodles separately and store apart. Freeze base without dairy or pasta and add those fresh when reheating.
