method.
🌀in a large pot or dutch oven heat olive oil on medium high heat, add sausage and beef. let brown on one side then add onion and garlic, mix until combined and meat looks a gorgeous brown.
🌀add canned toms, tom paste, broth and stir until fully incorporated. bring to a boil and then turn down and allow the soup to simmer on low for 20 min.
🌀in the meantime break noodles up into 2-3in (or 2x2) pieces. you can cook in a separate pot of heavily salted water according to package instructions or add noodles to the simmering pot during the same 20min. as above (I cook them separately and add them right at the end to avoid over cooking and pasta becoming absolute mush).
🌀slowly stir in mozz, ricotta, parm and parsley until completely combined. this is when I would add my lasagna pieces and let simmer for about 10min, so that they can bathe in the sauce. (do know that the longer the soup sits the more incredible the flavors).
🌀using a ladle divide soup into several bowls and garnish however you like with a side of crunchy bread. serve & enjoy!
