→ Cheese Topping

14 - 120 g ricotta cheese
15 - 100 g shredded mozzarella
16 - 50 g grated Parmesan

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage or ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease, leaving a small amount for flavor.
02 - Add diced onion to the pot and cook until softened and fragrant, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
03 - Incorporate tomato paste into the meat mixture and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes to deepen flavor.
04 - Pour in crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Season with Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil.
05 - Reduce heat to low and add broken lasagna noodles. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until noodles are tender.
06 - If the soup is too thick, add up to 120 ml more broth or water. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
07 - Mix ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Shred mozzarella and grate Parmesan cheese.
08 - Ladle soup into bowls. Top each serving with a generous spoonful of ricotta, followed by shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan. Serve immediately.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - To maintain noodle texture when reheating, cook pasta separately and add just before serving.
