Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 6 cups vegetable broth, low sodium
  • 6-8 sheets dried lasagna noodles, broken into 1-2 inch pieces
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the spicy Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, add remaining olive oil, chopped onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and broth, bringing to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add broken lasagna noodles and simmer for 8-10 minutes until al dente.
  5. Return sausage to the pot and stir in spinach until wilted.
  6. In a small bowl, combine ricotta, ½ cup mozzarella, and ¼ cup Parmesan, seasoning lightly.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls, topping with cheese mixture, remaining mozzarella, and fresh basil.

Notes

Don't overcook the noodles. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Use quality ingredients for the best flavor.
