Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 6 cloves garlic minced, about 2 tablespoons
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt divided
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups 1/2-inch diced butternut squash
- 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce I used roasted garlic
- 8 ounces dried lasagna noodles broken crosswise into thirds
- 3 cups chopped kale or spinach
- 1 ¼ cups part-skim ricotta cheese
- ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil leaves divided
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is beginning to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the beef, Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the broth and butternut squash. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, until the squash is more tender but still has some chew to it.
- Add the marinara sauce and return to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the lasagna noodles. Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes to make sure the noodles don't stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Stir in the kale (if you're using spinach, wait to add it until the end). Continue simmering for 5 to 10 minutes more, until the noodles are tender. (If using spinach, stir it in now.)
- While the soup simmers, in a medium bowl combine the ricotta, Mozzarella, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons of the basil, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Remove the soup from the heat. Stir in the cream and remaining 1/2 cup basil.
- Roll the ricotta mixture into generous 1 to 1 1/2-inch balls. Float a few on top of the soup and stir lightly to combine (you can also skip the balls and just serve the soup with big dollops of ricotta).
- To serve, ladle the soup into bowls. Top with an additional ricotta ball and fresh basil.
