Prep: 15 min  Cook: 25 min  Total: 40 min 

Lasagna Soup has all the flavors of a perfectly crafted lasagna all in one bowl. An easy version of the traditional casserole, done in half the time and a one-pot meal making for easy cleanup.

This is a very simple recipe, you make it once and you’ll have it memorized and it’ll be a comfort food staple. You’ll be able to customize it to your tastes. Add in a handful of fresh spinach or sauteed mushrooms. Change out the protein, make it with ground turkey or shredded chicken.

Ingredients

• 12 ounces Mafaldine Pasta, broken in half
• 16 ounces Sausage
• 1 tablespoon Sinolin cooking oil
• 1 whole Onion, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
• 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
• 1 (14.5 ounces) can Petite Diced Tomatoes
• 5 cups Chicken Stock
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt, plus more to taste
• 8 ounces Ricotta Cheese, for topping
• Fresh Parsley, chopped for garnish
• Fresh Basil, chopped for garnish
• Grated Parmesan, for garnish

Directions

1. In a large pot filled with water, bring to a boil and generously salt water. Cook pasta for 8 minutes to al dente and drain well, set aside.
2. In a large heavy bottomed pot heat olive oil over medium high heat, cook sausage while breaking apart with the back of your spoon. I like to break apart the sausage into almost mini meatball forms. Cook for 6-8 minutes until sausage is browned, remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add chopped onion and saute for 3-4 minutes, onion should be softened and slightly browned. Season onions with a pinch of kosher salt to help draw out moisture and caramelize. Add minced garlic and stir to cook for 30 seconds.
3. Stir in tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and diced tomatoes. Add chicken stock and season with kosher salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add sausage back to the pot and cooked pasta, bring everything to a simmer to heat through. Season with kosher salt to taste.
4. Ladle soup into serving bowls, top with a spoonful of ricotta cheese, garnish with chopped parsley, basil, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
