What You Need: One tablespoon of olive oil

a medium-sized onion, chopped
minced garlic (three cloves)
four cups of chicken stock
Alfredo sauce, 2 cups (homemade or store-bought)
Diced tomatoes, one can (14.5 oz.)
8 pieces of broken lasagna noodles
half a spoonful of pesto
Spoonful of dried oregano…
For seasoning, add salt and pepper to taste.
One cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
Parmesan cheese, half a cup grated
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley
How to Follow
Sear the meat: Warm the olive oil in a big saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the ground meat and brown it, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Remove any surplus of fat if needed.
Incorporate aromatics: Saute the chopped onion for four to five minutes, or until it becomes tender. Once the garlic begins to smell, stir it in and continue cooking for another minute.
Season with salt and pepper then add chicken stock, Alfredo sauce, and chopped tomatoes. Before serving, toss in the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. After the ingredients have come to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for ten minutes.
To boil the pasta, break up the lasagna noodles and add them to the broth. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the noodles are soft.
Then, for a cheesy, creamy texture, stir in the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Let them melt into the soup.
To serve, spoon the soup into individual bowls and top with chopped fresh basil or parsley. If you’d like some garlic bread on the side, you may serve it hot.
