A quick and easy one pot lasagna soup that captures all the heartiness and flavor of classic lasagna without the fuss, ready in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage (can substitute ground turkey)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 6 ounces uncooked small pasta shapes (rotini, elbow macaroni, or broken lasagna noodles)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the tomato paste.
  6. Add 28 oz crushed tomatoes and 4 cups broth. Stir to combine.
  7. Add 6 ounces uncooked pasta and stir to submerge.
  8. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover partially and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender but not mushy.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add more broth or water if soup is too thick.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup ricotta cheese.
  11. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top and cover for a few minutes to melt.
  12. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan and chopped fresh basil or parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook the pasta to avoid mushiness as it continues to soften after removing from heat. Brown the meat well for added flavor. Use good quality broth for best taste. Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent pasta sticking. Adjust thickness with extra broth or water if needed. For extra melty cheese, briefly broil or microwave bowls before serving.
