Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
Add ground beef, cook for 4-6 minutes until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and tomato paste until beef is well coated.
Pour in beef broth, marinara sauce, diced tomatoes with juice, and water. Stir to combine.
Break lasagna noodles in half and add to the pot, ensuring they’re fully submerged.
Cover and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once noodles are tender, stir in cottage cheese, shaved parmesan, shredded mozzarella, and chopped spinach. Let spinach wilt for 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with an extra dollop of cottage cheese and fresh basil if desired.

Notes

Substitute ground turkey or Italian sausage for the beef for a different flavor.

Ricotta cheese can replace cottage cheese for a more traditional lasagna taste.

For a thicker soup, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.

Stir noodles occasionally while simmering to prevent sticking.

For meal prep, freeze the broth and beef mixture separately and add fresh noodles when reheating.
