Ingredients
Method
- In a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or stockpot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon for 5-6 minutes until no pink remains. Drain any excess grease if desired.
- Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and deepened in color.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, marinara sauce, and beef bone broth. Stir well, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a gentle rolling boil.
- Add the broken lasagna noodle ripples into the bubbling broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking, for 12 to 14 minutes until the pasta is al dente.
- While the soup simmers, prepare the cheese swirl: in a small bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Remove Dutch oven from heat and gently stir in the heavy cream for an ultra-velvety broth.
- Ladle the steaming soup into deep bowls. Immediately top each bowl with a generous dollop of the ricotta cheese mixture and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. The hot broth will melt the cheese into a luscious, gooey cheese pull.
- Garnish with freshly sliced basil ribbons and extra grated Parmesan. Serve immediately with warm, crusty garlic bread.
