Ingredients
- 6-8 Lasagna Sheets or 1 pound of Campanelle Pasta
- 1 tbs Olive Oil
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- ½ pound Ground Italian Sausage
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 tbs Garlic Powder
- 1 tbs Italian Seasoning
- 1 32 oz jarred Tomato Sauce or 4 cups Homemade Sauce

- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
- ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese, hand shredded
- 1 tbs Oregano

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat and brown the sausage and ground beef. Drain the fat and season it with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Add the tomato sauce, beef broth and diced tomatoes. Stir it all together until it's evenly combined and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Break up the lasagna sheet and add them to the soup (or add the pound of pasta if using that instead of the lasagna sheets.)
- Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese.
- In a medium size bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and oregano. Add two big scoop fulls to the soup but be sure to reserve some for later.
- Once the lasagna noodles are done cooking (should take about 8-10 minutes) reseason the soup if needed and place it in a serving bowl.
- Add a little scoop of the ricotta mixture and garnish with shredded basil (optional). Serve warm and enjoy!
