Instructions
- Begin by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the Italian sausage or ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. This forms the flavorful base of your soup.

- While the soup simmers, cook your lasagna noodles until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Add the cooked pasta into the soup and stir in the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese to create a cheesy, rich flavor. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley. Serve piping hot for a creamy, satisfying meal.
