Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb Italian sausage

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Tomatoes

  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Pasta

  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces (or substitute penne or rigatoni)

Cheeses

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the finely chopped onion to the pot. Cook until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir in the dried Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if desired), salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Cook the Noodles: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, usually about 10–12 minutes.
  5. Add the Cheeses: Lower the heat to medium-low. Spoon dollops of ricotta cheese over the soup, then sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top. Cover the pot and let it cook for another 3–5 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Remove the pot from heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped basil or parsley on top for a bright flavor. Serve the soup hot with crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute Italian sausage with ground beef, turkey, or plant-based sausage for different dietary preferences.
  • If ricotta cheese is unavailable, cottage cheese or cream cheese can be used as substitutes.
  • Broken lasagna noodles can be replaced with other pasta shapes like penne or rigatoni if necessary.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to control the spiciness level according to your preference.
  • For vegetarian version, omit the sausage and consider adding mushrooms or extra vegetables for bulk and flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
