- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 6 cups chicken broth or beef broth

For Serving (Optional)
Instructions
Build the base
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook the meat
- Add ground beef or sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
Develop flavor
- Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cook the pasta
- Add broken lasagna noodles. Simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
Make it creamy
- Reduce heat to low. Slowly stir in the cream and let warm through for 2–3 minutes without boiling.
Serve
- Ladle into bowls and top with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, or fresh herbs as desired.
Notes
- Add cream over low heat to prevent curdling.
- Pasta will continue absorbing liquid—add extra broth when reheating.
- For best freezing results, freeze the soup without pasta and add fresh noodles when reheating.
