Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large pot, brown ground beef and sausage, seasoning with salt and pepper as you cook. Drain the grease and remove the meat from the pot.
  2. Heat olive oil in the same pot over medium heat, then sauté chopped onion for about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute or two.
  3. Stir in tomato paste, marinara sauce, red pepper flakes, parsley, dried oregano, and dried basil, along with the broth. Return the cooked meat to the pot.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then add lasagna noodles broken into pieces. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender. Add spinach, if using.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together the mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses.
  6. Ladle the hot soup into bowls, dollop a scoop of the cheese mixture on top, and garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

For extra richness, use whole milk ricotta. The cheese mixture will melt beautifully into the hot soup, creating a creamy texture. Feel free to adjust the red pepper flakes for desired spice level.
