Monday Recipe of the day: Lasagna Soup 1 -1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef 1 onion 2 garlic cloves 1 teaspoon oregano 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes 3 cups chicken broth 2 bay leaves ½ box (8 ounce box) fusilli pasta or rotini (uncooked) dried basil (to taste) 4 ounces ricotta 1/4 cup grated Parmesan 1/8 teaspoon salt Pinch of pepper 1 cup shredded mozzarella Place ground beef in Bean Pot. Chop onions, press garlic, and add them to the hamburger. Sprinkle oregano and red pepper flakes over garlic and onions. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Remove and crumble mixture. Cover and microwave an additional 2 minutes, or until hamburger is no longer pink. Remove cooked hamburger mixture and drain well. Set aside. Meanwhile, add tomato paste and diced tomatoes (with the juice) to the Bean Pot. Stir in broth, bay leaves and uncooked pasta. Cover and microwave on high 10 – 13 minutes, or until pasta is tender. Stir in basil. If desired, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Return hamburger mixture to the Bean Pot cover and microwave 1 – 2 additional minutes. Grate mozzarella cheese and set aside. Grate parmesan cheese and add in a bowl with the ricotta, salt, and pepper stir well. To serve, place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture in each individual serving bowl, sprinkle with some of the mozzarella, and ladle the soup on top. A good “whirl” of the spoon in the serving bowl will ensure that you get a bit of gooey cheese in every bite! Enjoy!!!
