Prep Time: 5 Minutes, Cook Time: 30 Minutes, Total Time: 35 Minutes, Servings: 4 – 6 servings
Ingredients:
1 Pound ground hot or mild Italian sausage, 1 jar tomato-basil sauce, 5 cups water, divided, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, 6 uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces, ¾ cup shredded Italian cheese blend, ¾ cup of whole milk ricotta cheese, chopped fresh basil, for garnish, optional.
Directions:
Step 1, heat a large pan over medium-high. Add the sausage and cook, stirring often and breaking into small pieces, until browned, crumbled, and cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent overbrowning.
Step 2, Stir in the tomato sauce. Pour ½ cup of water into the empty sauce jar, swirl to loosen any additional sauce, and add too the pan. Add the salt and remaining 4 ½ cups of water, scraping the bottom of the pot to dissolve any browned bits, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3, add the lasagna noodles, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are cooked to al dente, 12 to 16 minutes.
Step 4, While the noodles cook, in a small bowl, stir together the Italian cheese blend and ricotta unit combined. Set aside.
Step 5, Remove the soup from the heat. Divide among 4 bowls and top evenly with dollops of the ricotta mixture. Garnish with fresh bail, if using.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a little water to help loosen it.
