Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the ground beef or sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until soft. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the marinara sauce and broth. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in the broken lasagna noodles. Simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.
Dollop ricotta on top of each bowl when serving, or stir it into the pot if you like it blended in.
Sprinkle with Parmesan and fresh herbs, if using. Serve hot!
