Skip the layering and make One Pot Lasagna Soup. Packed with pasta, cheese, and veggies, it’s an easy one-pot meal with the same rich flavor as classic lasagna.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage or ground beef, breaking it into bite-sized pieces, and brown for about 5 minutes. Add the onions and carrots, cooking until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and stir to incorporate. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the tomato paste turns brown.
Add the diced tomatoes, zucchini, bay leaves, and chicken stock. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 20–25 minutes. During the last few minutes, toss in the spinach and let it wilt.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, milk, salt, and pepper to create the cheesy filling.
To serve, place a ladle of the pasta in each bowl. Add a dollop of the cheesy filling, sprinkle extra mozzarella on top, and ladle the hot soup over the cheese. Enjoy!
