A comforting and hearty dish that combines all the beloved flavors of classic lasagna in a warm bowl, perfect for busy weeknights or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the meat: In an Instant Pot or large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef or sausage with the onion and garlic until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure to break up the meat for even cooking. Drain excess fat.
  2. Combine ingredients: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, and broken lasagna noodles. Mix well to combine everything.
  3. Cook in Instant Pot: If using the Instant Pot, seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. If cooking on the stovetop, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
  4. Add the creamy touch: Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella until melted and well incorporated.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the remaining mozzarella, freshly grated Parmesan, and garnish with basil leaves before serving hot.
