Ingredients
  

For the soup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef 90% lean
  • 1 yellow onion small, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles broken into 2-inch pieces
For the cheese topping
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart Dutch oven

Method
 

Make the soup
  1. Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat for 1 minute.
  2. Add the ground beef and onion and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking up the beef, until the beef is browned and reaches 160°F and the onion is softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant and the paste darkens slightly.
  4. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, crushed tomatoes, and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
  5. Add the broken noodles.
  6. Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  7. Cook uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until the noodles are tender.
Finish and serve
  1. While the soup simmers, stir the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan together in a small bowl.
  2. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a spoonful of the cheese mixture.

Notes

For tender noodles, check them as the simmer approaches 10 minutes. Refrigerate leftovers for 3 to 4 days; freezing is fine, though the noodles may soften. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free lasagna noodles.
