Instructions
- Prep Oven and Brown Meat:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook ground beef or sausage over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spoon, until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Sauté Vegetables:
- Add onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
- Simmer Soup:
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, basil, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
- Add Pasta and Cream:
- Add broken lasagna noodles. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender (about 15 minutes). Stir in heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper. Let soup simmer gently while you prepare biscuits.
- Make Biscuit Dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in cheeses. Add buttermilk; stir until just combined.
- Bake Biscuits:
- Drop heaping spoonfuls of biscuit dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (makes 6–8 biscuits). Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown. Cool slightly.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Ladle hot lasagne soup into bowls. Top with ricotta and a cheesy biscuit melt. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
