Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 lb. mild Italian sausage casings removed, if you can't find it without casings
- 4 cups chicken stock/broth
- 28 oz. canned crushed tomatoes such as San Marzano
- 8 oz. lasagna noodles broken up into 1-2" pieces (or other pasta)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil plus more for serving
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded (about 4 oz.)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese about 8 oz.
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated, plus more for serving
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil (2 tablespoons) over medium-high. Sauté the diced onions until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the sausage, minced garlic (2 cloves), and dried oregano (1 teaspoon), breaking the meat up into pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until fully browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth/stock (4 cups) and canned crushed tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
- Turn heat to low and add the broken up lasagna noodles, along with a little bit of salt and pepper. Simmer, covered, until noodles are fully cooked (about 10-12 minutes).
- Meanwhile, mix together the shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz.), ricotta (8 oz.), and finely grated parmesan cheese (1/4 cup) in a medium bowl.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil (1/4 cup). Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top each with 1/4 cup of the ricotta mixture. Top with extra basil, parmesan cheese, and black pepper, if desired.

Notes
- To make this vegetarian, substitute mushrooms or a meat substitute (such as Trader Joe's Beef-less Ground Beef) for the sausage and use vegetable stock instead of chicken.
- If you don't feel like breaking up lasagna noodles for this recipe, just use rotini instead!
