Ingredients

Scale

For the Base

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil for a lighter option
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage or ground beef, turkey, or a plant-based alternative
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or garlic powder as a substitute
  • 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version
  • 2 cups water

For the Soup’s Heart

  • 15 oz Alfredo sauce
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces or penne or rigatoni if preferred

For Flavor Infusion

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil or fresh basil if available
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, adjust to taste for spiciness
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Creaminess

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground Italian sausage and break it apart as it browns for about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Liquids and Alfredo Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and water, stirring to blend with the sausage and onions. Then, add the Alfredo sauce and mix thoroughly.
  4. Add Noodles and Seasonings: Bring the soup to a gentle boil, adding the broken lasagna noodles, dried basil, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to submerge the noodles.
  5. Simmer Noodles: Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are al dente.
  6. Melt Cheeses: Once cooked, mix in shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  7. Add Ricotta Dollops: Dollop the ricotta cheese over the top and allow it to warm slightly without stirring.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Ladle into bowls, garnishing each with freshly chopped parsley and an optional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Adjust seasonings to taste and consider keeping noodles separate if storing leftovers to prevent sogginess.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with plant-based alternatives and use vegetable broth.
  • Fresh herbs can enhance flavor; substitute dried with fresh basil and oregano if available.
  • Be cautious with salt as sausage and cheeses already contribute to sodium levels.
  • This soup reheats well but thickens; add extra broth or water when reheating if needed.
