Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Cook the Meat: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef or sausage, breaking it up as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess grease.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Build the Broth: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
- Cook the Pasta: Add the broken lasagna noodles directly into the soup. Let them cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 10-12 minutes).
- Final Touches: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and top each serving with a spoonful of ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
- Serve & Enjoy! Let the cheese melt into the soup and dig in while it’s warm!
