Ingredients
  

Aromatics
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
Vegetables
  • 1 Bell pepper diced
  • 1 Zucchini diced
  • 8 oz Mushrooms sliced
Liquids
  • 1 cup Marinara sauce
  • 4 cups Vegetable broth low sodium
Pasta
  • 8 sheets Lasagna noodles broken into bite-sized pieces
Spices
  • 1 tsp Dried basil
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
Greens
  • 2 cups Spinach fresh leaves
Cheese Topping
  • 1 cup Ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • large Dutch oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

Sauté the Aromatics
  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant.
Build the Vegetable Base
  1. Add diced bell peppers, zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and the peppers soften slightly.
Add Liquid and Herbs
  1. Pour in marinara sauce and vegetable broth. Stir in dried basil and oregano. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
The Noodle Phase
  1. Add broken lasagna noodles directly into the pot. Ensure they are submerged. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Adjust liquid levels if needed.
Wilt the Greens
  1. Once the pasta is tender, turn off the heat and stir in the spinach. The residual heat will wilt the leaves in about thirty seconds.
Prepare the Cheese Ricotta Garnish
  1. In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with parmesan and a dash of black pepper.
Serve
  1. Ladle the soup into deep bowls. Place a generous dollop of the ricotta mixture in the center and let it slowly melt into the red sauce.
