Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground Italian sausage
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 5 teaspoons minced garlic about 5 cloves
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 (15 ounce can) tomato sauce
- 2 (15 ounce cans) diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 pound lasagna pasta broken into pieces (about 2 cups)
Cheese Topping
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 pounds ground Italian sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess grease, then return the pot to medium-high heat.
- Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in 5 teaspoons minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in 4 cups beef broth, 1 (15 ounce can) tomato sauce, and 2 (15 ounce cans) diced tomatoes. Add 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 bay leaves. Stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer gently for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Break 1/2 pound lasagna pasta into bite-size pieces, 1 to 2 inches in size. Stir them into the soup and cook for an additional 12–15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm to the bite (al dente). Remove the pot from the heat and discard the bay leaves.

Cheese Topping
- While the noodles cook, prepare the cheese topping. In a medium bowl, combine 16 ounces ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheeseand 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
- To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- If the pasta absorbs too much liquid, simply add more beef broth as needed.
- Instead of lasagna pasta, you can also use bow tie, penne, or other bite-size pasta shapes.
