Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups beef broth
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces pasta (lasagna noodles broken or farfalle)
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions are soft and the garlic is fragrant.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to deepen the flavor.
4. Pour in the beef broth. Add salt and pepper, then stir well to combine.
5. Bring the soup to a gentle boil and add the pasta. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
6. Lower the heat and stir in ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
Use broken lasagna noodles for the most authentic texture, but any pasta shape works well.
To make ahead, store pasta separately and combine when reheating to avoid mushiness.
For a lighter version, use ground turkey or chicken and low-fat cheese.
