A cozy, one-pot lasagna soup filled with tender pasta, savory meat, tomato-rich broth, and a melty three-cheese topping — all the comfort of lasagna without the layering.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb ground beef or sausage
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
5 cups chicken or beef broth
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt, pepper, and pinch of sugar
8–10 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Cheese Mixture:
1 cup ricotta
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Salt and pepper
Heat oil in a large pot. Brown meat.
Add onion and garlic. Sauté until soft.
Stir in tomato paste, tomatoes, broth, and seasonings. Simmer.
Add pasta and cook 10–12 minutes until al dente.
Mix cheeses in a bowl.
Ladle soup into bowls. Top with cheese mixture and fresh herbs.
Store pasta separately for leftovers.
Add spinach, mushrooms, or cream for variation.
Freeze without pasta for best results.
