Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb Italian sausage mild or spicy (or ground beef)
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles broken into bite-sized pieces (or mafalda noodles)
  • 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 ½ cups Alfredo sauce homemade or jarred
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale roughly chopped (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese or Pecorino Romano
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese optional, for dolloping
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Cook the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add Italian sausage, break it up, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove excess fat if desired.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add broth and noodles: Pour in chicken broth, stir in broken lasagna noodles and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-12 minutes until noodles are al dente.
  4. Incorporate Alfredo sauce: Stir in Alfredo sauce and heavy cream. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Add greens and cheese: Stir in spinach or kale and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes.
  6. Serve and garnish: Ladle into bowls, dollop with ricotta (if using), and sprinkle with parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Store noodles separately to avoid sogginess.
  • Substitutions: Use ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option, or gluten-free noodles for dietary needs.
  • Make It Spicy: Add extra red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a kick.
  • Vegetarian Option: Swap sausage for mushrooms or zucchini and use vegetable broth.
  • Freezing: Omit cream and cheese when freezing. Freeze the base for up to 3 months, then add cream and cheese when reheating.
