Break the lasagna sheets and add them, cooking for approximately 20 minutes over medium heat. After that time, adjust the salt if necessary and finish with parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parsley, basil, or cilantro, whatever you have.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Brown the ground beef until completely dry and fond forms on the pan bottom - this Maillard reaction at 280-300°F creates deep umami flavors that define the soup's base.technique280-300°F
- ✓Toast tomato paste for 60-90 seconds after adding it to caramelize sugars and concentrate flavors, which eliminates metallic notes and adds sweetness.timing60-90 seconds
- ✓Break lasagna sheets into 2-3 inch irregular pieces so they cook evenly in 18-20 minutes while maintaining al dente texture that won't turn mushy in the broth.technique2-3 inch pieces
- ✓Add cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent curdling - dairy proteins coagulate above 180°F when combined with acidic tomatoes for extended periods.timing5 minutes, 180°F
- ✓Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid before serving because the starchy, seasoned liquid helps bind the cheese into a silky emulsion rather than clumpy separation.technique1/2 cup
