mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

Part-skim mozzarella has less fat, while cheddar is often more affordable.

Parmesan cheese

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, and ground pork is often cheaper.

Dice 1 medium yellow onion by hand into rough pieces.

Rough chop 1 green bell pepper by hand.

In a large pot, brown 3 lbs of ground turkey with Creole seasoning, all-purpose seasoning, Italian seasoning, and adobo seasoning.

Add the diced yellow onion, chopped green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the browned turkey and cook until softened.

Stir in some tomato paste for flavor and thickness.

Add 1 jar of Ragu chunky spaghetti sauce and 2 jugs of water to the pot, mixing well.

Add chicken seasoning to the pot and let the mixture come to a simmer.

Break up 1.5 boxes of lasagna sheets and add them to the pot, bringing it to a boil.

Add heavy whipping cream to the pot for creaminess.

In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.

Chop fresh basil and add it to the cheese mixture, then mix well.

Add the cheese mixture directly into the pot and stir to combine.

Top the soup with additional mozzarella cheese and let it simmer for 5 minutes with the lid on.

Serve the lasagna soup with garlic knots.
