Why I Love This Recipe

Lasagna is always worth the effort, but sometimes you just want those same cozy flavors without all the layering. That’s exactly why I keep coming back to this soup. It has a rich tomato broth, hearty pasta, savory sausage, and that creamy dollop of ricotta on top that makes every spoonful taste like the best bite of lasagna. It’s warm, comforting, and exactly the kind of meal that makes everyone go back for seconds.

Enjoying The Leftovers

This soup is just as cozy the next day, making it perfect for meal prep or easy lunches. Since the pasta continues to absorb the broth as it sits, don’t be surprised if it becomes even heartier overnight.

Storing

Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep the ricotta topping separate and add it just before serving for the freshest flavor and creamiest texture.

Reheating

Warm the soup gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through. If it’s thickened in the refrigerator, stir in a splash of chicken broth or water until it reaches your desired consistency. Finish each bowl with the ricotta mixture, extra parmesan, and fresh basil if you have it.

US – M

Instructions

  • Preheat a large pot to medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil and once hot, add in the Italian sausage and cook 5-7 min until brown.
  • Once the meat is almost done cooking, add the onion and garlic. Mix well and saute for a few minutes.
  • Next, add the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chicken bone broth, then mix well.
  • Bring to a boil and cook for about 13-15 minutes or until the pasta is fully cooked. (Note: The noodles will soak up a lot of the liquid as they cook, so if you’d like a more creamy/saucy soup, use the instructed amount of broth. If you’d like it more soupy, add another 2 cups.)
  • Finally, add in the parmesan cheese and mix until well incorporated.
  • Serve with some ricotta and a sprinkle of fresh basil on top and enjoy!
