Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 can Diced tomatoes 28 ounce, undrained
  • 1 can Tomato paste 6 ounce
  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 cup Lasagna noodles broken into pieces
For Serving
  • 1/2 cup Ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • Fresh basil Fresh basil chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato paste, and chicken broth. Stir in oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil.
