Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add 1 pound of lean ground beef and 1 pound of ground Italian sausage. Chop and mix until browned.

Add 1 diced sweet onion and 2 teaspoons of minced garlic. Mix and let simmer for about a minute.

Add 1 can of diced tomatoes and 1 can of tomato sauce. Stir to combine.

Pour in 5 cups of beef broth and mix well.

Add 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Mix and cover to let simmer.

Break 1/2 pound of lasagna pasta into 4-5 pieces and wait for the soup to come to a boil.

Once boiling, add the broken lasagna pasta to the soup and stir.

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the topping by mixing 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil in a bowl.

Check the pasta for doneness, aiming for al dente texture. Stir the soup.

Once pasta is cooked, serve the soup in bowls and top with the ricotta mixture, additional grated Parmesan, and mozzarella cheese.
