Instructions
 

Mix the ricotta.:

  • Refrigerate until ready to use.

Brown the meat:

  • 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 (reserve half for topping) 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.
