Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into 1–2 inch pieces
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. First things first, grab a large Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot and set it over medium-high heat. Add your lean ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Cook until it’s fully browned and no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the beef to a bowl, leaving any rendered fat in the pot.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion to the pot with the remaining beef fat (or a drizzle of olive oil if you drained all the fat). Sauté the onion for about 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir the tomato paste into the softened onions and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. If using a non-alcoholic cooking wine substitute, add about a quarter cup to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and add the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for at least 15-20 minutes.
  5. Uncover the pot and return the browned ground beef to the soup. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Stir well to ensure the noodles are submerged. Increase the heat slightly and cook the noodles for 8-10 minutes, or until they are al dente.
  6. Once the noodles are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and a generous handful of grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls. Add a dollop of fresh ricotta cheese to each serving, top with additional grated Parmesan cheese, and sprinkle with fresh chopped basil. Serve immediately.

Nutrition

Keywords: Don't overcook the noodles to avoid a mushy texture. You can adjust the creaminess by using half-and-half instead of heavy cream or adding more cheese for a richer flavor. Fresh herbs like basil elevate the dish significantly.
