Lasagna is one of my favorite meals to make. In fact, it is in my monthly meal rotation several times! However, my family does tend to get a little sick of it so I felt I needed to change things up a bit. That’s when I came across this delightful recipe for lasagna soup over on the OrsaraRecipes YouTube channel. Just look at the picture of this stuff! Doesn’t it make your mouth water? If I could go through the computer screen and grab a bit I so would!
Anyway, I’m excited to have found this recipe and I’m even more excited to share it with you 🙂
Ingredients
6-7 oz. Mafaldine pasta
32 oz. Hunt’s tomato sauce
3-4 cups chicken stock
1 lbs. Jimmy Dean Italian hot sausage
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
3 Tbsp. Bertolli olive oil
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Kraft mozzarella cheese, shredded
ricotta cheese
4 basil leaves
black pepper, to taste
Morton salt, to taste
Instructions
Pour the olive oil into a deep pot and add the garlic and onion. Place on the stove over a medium/low flame and fry for about 3 minutes, making sure to continuously stir and that it stays a whiter color before adding the sausage.
Next, break the sausage into small pieces and stir it into the pot with the garlic and onion. Continue to stir for about 5 minutes or until fully cooked.
Mix in the tomato paste, tomato sauce and chicken stock and bring to a boil. At this point, taste the soup and add salt and black pepper as to your preferred taste. I added a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Once the soup is boiling, add the mafaldine to the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, making sure to occasionally stir the pasta so it doesn’t stick together.
Now that the pasta is cooked, ladle some of the soup into an oven safe bowl. Top off with some mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese and a dollop of ricotta cheese.
Place in the oven and broil for about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden. Remove from the oven, add a basil leaf on top and serve. Enjoy and cin cin!
*Tip: If you only have sweet sausage and want a spicy kick, add a hot pepper to the recipe!
