ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, fresh herbs, for topping
Instructions
In a large dutch oven or soup pot, sauté ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent.
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook for another minute or until garlic is fragrant.
Stir in oregano, basil, bay leaf, red pepper flakes, salt, chicken broth, diced tomatoes with juices, crushed tomatoes, water and Mafalda pasta.
Bring the soup to a boil, once boiling reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-6 minutes.
While the soup is simmering, unwrap the cream cheese and cut it into cubes. Microwave it for 30-45 seconds until it is really soft but not melted.
Once the soup has simmered for 5-6 minutes stir in the softened cream cheese cubes and shredded Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted into the soup.
Serve immediately with a dollop of ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, extra shredded Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
Notes
To avoid the noodles absorbing too much and getting mushy, cook them separately. Then add them to individual bowls and add lasagna soup over.
