Ingredients

1 yellow onion, chopped

1 Gen V red bell pepper, diced

10 ml (2 tsp) herbes de Provence

10 ml (2 tsp) smoked paprika

2.5 ml chilli flakes

350 g minced beef

2 crates Gen V grape tomatoes, quartered

1 garlic clove, minced

45 ml (3 tbsp.) tomato paste

5 to 6 cups beef broth

250 g lasagna pasta, broken into pieces

250 ml (1 cup) fresh baby spinach

120 ml (1/2 cup) 15% cooking cream

250 ml (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese

For the ricotta filling:

250 ml (1 cup) ricotta cheese

120 (1/2 cup) grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup (120 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese

A few fresh basil leaves, chopped

Preparation

  1. In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté, 2 to 3 minutes, until translucent. Add the red pepper and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring.
  2. Add the ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until nicely browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic, tomato paste, herbes de Provence, smoked paprika and chili flakes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to release the aromas.
  4. Stir in the grape tomatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the beef broth and lasagna pasta pieces. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat, partially cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
  6. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella and a few chopped basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
  7. Add the spinach, cream and mozzarella cheese to the soup. Stir until the cheese is melted and the spinach is slightly wilted. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Serve the soup in bowls. Top generously with the ricotta mixture and a little Parmesan cheese.
