Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the lasagna soup:
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small green pepper chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 garlic cloves pressed
- 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 12 ounces lasagna noodles broken into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup reserved pasta water
- kosher salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the creamy ricotta topping (optional):
- 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onions and green peppers just until starting to soften. Add ground beef, and cook through, breaking it into small pieces. Press garlic cloves into the meat mixture, and stir them in, cooking just until fragrant, about one minute.
- Pour the Prego Traditional Pasta Sauce into the meat mixture, along with the petite diced tomatoes, beef stock, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, and then turn down to a simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- While the soup is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add broken lasagna noodles, and cook according to the package directions. When done cooking, reserve one cup of the pasta water before draining.
- Stir the cooked lasagna noodles and pasta water into the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To make the creamy ricotta topping, stir together the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and salt.
- Serve the lasagna soup with a generous scoop of the ricotta topping, as desired.
