• 3 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 1 tsp dried oregano
  
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  
• 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
  
• 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  
• 8–10 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  
• Salt & pepper to taste
  

For Topping:

• 1 cup ricotta cheese
  
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  
• Fresh basil or parsley (optional)

👩🍳 Instructions

1. Brown the Meat

In a large pasta pot, cook the ground meat over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.

2. Add Flavor

Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook 1 minute more.

3. Stir in Tomato Paste

Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another minute to build flavor.

4. Add Tomatoes & Broth

Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir well and bring to a boil.

5. Add Pasta

Break lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and stir them in. Simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.

6. Season & Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and top with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

🍽 Pro Tip: Use a Quality Pasta Pot for One-Pot Meals

This soup — and any pasta-based dish — comes out best when made in a durable, heavy-bottomed pasta pot. It provides even heat distribution, enough space for noodles to move freely, and helps prevent sticking or scorching at the bottom.

Look for one with a built-in strainer lid or nonstick interior to make cleanup and cooking even smoother.
