Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup chopped yellow onion
• 6 ounces hot Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 (28 ounce) can no-salt-added crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups water
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 1/2 lasagna noodles (about 6 ounces), preferably whole-wheat, broken into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Directions

1. Firstly, heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost translucent, about 5 minutes. Next, Push onions to one side of the pot and add sausage to the other side. Cook, breaking up the sausage into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Then, add garlic and tomato paste; cook, stirring constantly until the tomato paste is heated through, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, water, broth, sugar, and salt; bring to a boil over high heat. Add lasagna noodles and stir to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally until the pasta is just cooked through but not completely soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar.
2. Meanwhile, combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan in a small bowl and set the mixture aside.
3. Lastly, ladle the soup into 6 bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of the ricotta mixture and sprinkle with basil.
