Lasagna Soup
INGREDIENTS
•
1 ½ t. olive oil (I didn't use any oil because I found the sausage had enough fat)

3 t. garlic, minced
•
1 ½ t. oregano
•
1/2 t. pepper
•
Pinch of salt
•
¼ t. red pepper flakes
•
1 small can tomato paste
•
3 cans diced tomatoes
•
2-3 cans chicken broth (depending how thick you like it--I use water and chicken base/bouilon from Costco, it is MUCH cheaper than broth)

2 bay leaves

12 oz. corkscrew or shell pasta

3 t. basil
•
6 oz. ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese blended until smooth)
