One-pot lasagna soup is a delicious and convenient twist on traditional lasagna, perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound (450g) ground beef (or Italian sausage for extra flavor)
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Once simmering, add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- Once the noodles are cooked, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and well combined.
- Ladle the lasagna soup into bowls and sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley, if desired.
- Serve the one-pot lasagna soup hot, with garlic bread or a side salad if desired.
