Equipment

  • 1 large pot or Dutch oven
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • ½ cup Orrington Farms® Beef Flavored Broth Base with Other Natural Flavor
  • 7 cups water
  • 12 strips lasagna pasta, broken into smaller pieces

Instructions

  • Begin the recipe by making the cheese topping. In a medium bowl, stir together the 1 cup ricotta cheese, ½ cup mozzarella cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped basil until combined. Cover and place into the refrigerator until ready to use.

  • Use a large Dutch oven or stock pot on the stovetop over medium heat. Once heated add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the 1 pound ground beef and ½ pound ground Italian sausage.
  • Use a large wooden spoon to break the meat into smaller pieces as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • If you notice an excessive amount of fat (depending on the ground beef used), then you may drain off the excess oil before continuing.
  • Add in the 1 cup chopped onion and cook until it begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 3 cloves minced garlic, and stir to combine. Cook until the garlic becomes fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Stir in the 3 tablespoons tomato paste, 28 ounces crushed tomatoes, ½ cup Orrington Farms® Beef Flavored Broth Base with Other Natural Flavor, and 7 cups water. Allow the soup to come up to a low boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and allow it to cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
    Tomatoes and broth added to the pot with the other soup ingredients.
  • Carefully remove the top from the pot and add in the 12 broken strips lasagna pasta. Stir to combine, cover again, and continue cooking (stirring occasionally) for an additional 10 minutes, until the pasta is al dente.
    Lasagna noodles added to soup in large pot.
  • Ladle the soup into serving bowls, top with a dollop of ricotta mixture, and serve immediately while still warm. Enjoy!
