Ninja Foodi Lasagna Soup (Gluten-Free Optional)

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat, while cheddar is often cheaper.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Romano cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free, and Romano is a cost-effective substitute.

Turn the Ninja Foodi to the sauté function on high.

Brown the ground beef in the pot of the Ninja Foodi. If using fatty ground beef, drain excess oil; otherwise, leave it in.

Turn the sauté function off and add in the meat sauce, dried basil, spinach, crushed garlic, and Italian seasoning.

Add 6 cups of broth and/or water (3 cups of each for more flavor) and a little salt to enhance flavor.

Break apart the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pot. Ensure all pasta is submerged in the liquid.

Secure the pressure cooker lid and set the nozzle to seal.

Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.

Quickly release the steam by turning the nozzle to vent immediately after cooking to prevent overcooking the pasta.

Carefully lift the lid and stir the soup, ensuring all pasta is mixed in with the liquid.

Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and serve with garlic bread or garlic toast.
