Nonstick skillet
- 1.5 pounds lean ground beef 93/7
- 1.5 cups finely chopped yellow onion
- 6 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons table salt divided
- 0.75 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper divided
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1 jar marinara sauce 24-ounce jar (such as Rao's)
- 1 can diced tomatoes 15-ounce, drained
- 1 can basil, garlic, and oregano tomato paste 6-ounce
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper plus more for garnish
- 8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles broken into 1 ¾-inch pieces (about 8 to 9 sheets)
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach chopped
- 1 container whole milk ricotta cheese 15-ounce
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese to taste
Gather all ingredients.
Combine ground beef, onion, garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is no longer pink and onions are softened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker.
Stir in broth, marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, crushed red pepper, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon black pepper until combined.
Cover and cook on LOW until soup is just slightly thickened, 3 ½ to 4 hours, or on HIGH for 2 hours.
Stir lasagna noodles into crockpot until sheets are submerged in liquid. Cover and cook on HIGH until pasta is al dente, about 30 minutes.
Stir in spinach the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Serve with a dollop of ricotta and Parmesan cheese. Garnish with crushed red pepper.
