- Stir in minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes and beef broth, bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the broken lasagna noodles.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, and fresh basil, and serve hot.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use Italian sausage instead of ground beef. You can also add a touch of red wine with the tomatoes for extra depth. If you prefer a vegetarian option, simply omit the meat and add extra vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
