6lasagna noodles, uncooked* you can substitute other large pasta such as rotini if you like
½cup shredded mozzarella cheese (fresh)
½cupricotta cheese (optional)
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a dutch oven on the stovetop, scramble fry the ground beef over med-high heat until it is brown (drain an excess grease-a little is okay)
Add in the onion and garlic and cook until they become fragrant
Add the 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning blend the ½ tsp salt and pepper (each), the 4 cups low sodium beef broth1 jar Marinara sauce *650 ml and the 6 lasagna noodles, uncooked (broken into bite sized pieces) and simmer over low heat until the pasta noodles are cooked
Serve in bowls and top with the mozzarella and ricotta, garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
If you prefer, you can add half or all of the cheese to the soup directly instead of on top. I like a bit of both
Notes
This is a super quick and easy soup made with pantry staples. A great meal in a hurry and it is delicious.
