Ingredients

  • 500g beef mince
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, finely diced
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 800g tinned crushed tomatoes
  • 1.5 litres beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 200g dried lasagna sheets, broken into pieces
  • 250g ricotta cheese
  • 100g mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 50g parmesan cheese, grated
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and internal temperature reaches 75°C, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

2

Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are softened and onion is translucent.

3

Stir in the garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the meat and vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes to caramelise slightly.

5

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef stock. Stir well and bring to a boil.

6

Add the broken lasagna pieces to the soup. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.

7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

8

In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with half of the grated parmesan until smooth.

9

Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top each serving with a generous dollop of the ricotta mixture, a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella, remaining parmesan, and fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
