Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 (28-ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-size pieces
- 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces ricotta cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel–lined plate to drain. Set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot. Add the onions and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, rosemary, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, sugar, parsley, salt, black pepper, and cooked sausage.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup of the pasta cooking water, and set aside.
- Add the noodles and reserved pasta water to the soup.
- In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, dollop with the cheese mixture, garnish with some fresh basil, and serve.
