Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
1.5 pounds bulk turkey Italian sausage
1 extra-large yellow onion, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cans (14.5 oz each) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
6 cups beef or vegetable broth
8 ounces lasagna pasta, broken into pieces
1 cup ricotta cheese
0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the turkey sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Stir in the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Add the fire-roasted tomatoes and broth; bring to a simmer.
Add the broken pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.
In a small bowl, whisk together ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella.
Serve the hot soup with a generous dollop of the cheese mixture stirred in, garnished with fresh basil.
Notes
Use high-quality fire-roasted tomatoes for the best flavor depth. If you prefer a thicker soup, let it sit for a few minutes before serving as the pasta will continue to absorb liquid. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, though the pasta may soften significantly.
