Total Time: 55 minutes
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb. ground sirloin (90/10)
  • 1/2 lb. ground Italian sausage (removed from casings)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth (homemade is best)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 8 oz mafalda corta pasta*
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • kosher salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Mix the ricotta. In a mixing bowl, mix together the ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Brown the meat. Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and ground Italian sausage (removed from the casings). Use a spoon to stir and break the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through.
  • Add the onion and spices. Once the meat is almost cooked through, add the diced onion, garlic, oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onions are soft.
  • Add the tomato products. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, until darkened in color. Then, add the crushed tomatoes and broth and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Add the pasta. Add the chopped basil and pasta and stir well. Cover and simmer 10 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.
  • Serve. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper and ladle into bowls. Top the lasagna soup with a dollop of the ricotta mixture and more fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

*Mafalda Corta pasta is a short form pasta that has wavy edges like lasagna noodles. You could also use full-sized lasagna noodles just broken into pieces. For more pasta options, reference the blog post for suggestions.
