Type Of Pasta

I used mafalda, which are mini lasagna noodles. Any small curly pasta would be good. Or, use eight regular lasagna noodles and break them apart into bite size pieces.

  • Add pasta.
  • Cook until the pasta is tender.

How To Store

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Or, in the freezer for up to three months. Transfer the container to the refrigerator to thaw the day before you want to reheat it.

  1. I accidently thawed ground beef instead of Italian sausage. Any thoughts or experience if I make it with that instead?

    If you love lasagna but hate the time it takes to make it…You have to try this soup! This is the best soup ever! Loved it!!! I doubled the recipe and used 1 lb. ground lean turkey sausage and 1 lb. lean ground beef. I kept the pasta and cheese balls separate until serving. This way I was able to freeze the soup and cheese balls and can then thaw them out and make fresh pasta whenever I want this soup in the future.

    My husband is a very picky eater. However, i knew he loves lasagna so this recipe had promise. It was a hit and so simple. I have never cooked pasta in sauce, only in waterโ€ฆ.. it took a little longer to cook to get to the tenderness that we both like. It was delicious!
