Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey, breaking it apart while cooking until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

2. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and broth. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.

4. Stir in noodles and cook until tender, about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Scoop soup into bowls and top with ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan.

6. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a thicker soup, reduce broth slightly or let it simmer uncovered longer.

To make it dairy-free, use plant-based cheese alternatives.

Cook noodles separately if you’re planning to store or freeze the soup.
