MAKE THE RICOTTA TOPPING
To a small bowl, mix together ricotta, parmesan, black pepper, salt and a dash of nutmeg until smooth. Set aside.
MAKE THE LASAGNA SOUP
To a large pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil, butter, and garlic. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes and then add the ground beef.
Season with Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into small pieces.
Mix and cook until the meat is browned and broken up completely.
Then add the marinara sauce, heavy cream, and beef broth. Mix well and bring to a slow boil.
Add the broken lasagna sheets and cook for 14 to 16 minutes or until the pasta is fully cooked and softened.
Finally, add the basil, parsley, and mozzarella. Mix together.
Serve warm in a bowl with dollops of the seasoned ricotta on top to enjoy!
