Print Recipe

A quick and easy one-pot lasagna soup that captures the flavors of classic lasagna without the hassle. Browned Italian sausage, broken noodles, and marinara simmer together, topped with cool, creamy ricotta dollops for a comforting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or hot)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (low-sodium)
  • 8–10 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (optional, for browning)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in marinara sauce and broth. Stir to scrape up browned bits from the bottom. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Break lasagna noodles into 2-3 inch pieces and add to the simmering soup. Stir to prevent sticking. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes until noodles are al dente.
  5. Remove lid and stir in fresh spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If too thick, add more broth.
  7. Ladle hot soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese. Garnish with fresh basil or olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not use no-boil lasagna noodles as they will remain hard and absorb too much liquid. For a vegetarian version, swap sausage for lentils or mushrooms. The soup thickens as it sits; add broth when reheating. Ricotta dollops should be added just before serving to maintain texture contrast.
