2.5 oz Boursin garlic and herbs
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1 cup ricotta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Diced basil and parsley
8 lasagna noodles
DIRECTIONS -
HERB PREP
Remove some of the stems from the Basil Leaves and stack them on top of each other, roll them up, and give them a nice chop. (If you're in a bind or cannot find any fresh basil, you can use the dried seasoning but fresh is best with recipes like this with very few ingredients)
Chop your parsley the same way you did the basil
Take your garlic cloves and cut the tip off and use the flat end of your nice to crush the garlic and then chop it, feel free to mince it nice and fine if you feel like it
Dice your onion
RICOTTA MIXTURE
In a bowl add 8oz of whole-fat Ricotta Cheese and half a pack (2.5 oz) of Boursin garlic and herb cheese
Add about 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese and about 1/2 cup of freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
Add your iced parsley and basil
Season with All-Purpose Seasoning and Red Pepper Flakes (season to your preference and taste as you go)
Mix to combine
Place in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve your soup
SOUP
In a dutch oven or soup pot over high heat add some avocado oil to cover the bottom of your pot
Add your 2lbs of ground beef to the bottom (do not break up yet) until it gets a nice sear
Once it starts searing, start breaking up your beef and cooking it through
Strain any excess fat with a ladle
Add in your diced onion for about 2 min (Allow onions to cook down a bit)
Add beef bouillon powder (optional), 1/2 tbsp each of my All-Purpose Seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder), Red Pepper Flakes (optional if you don't want spice), Italian Herb Paste, and tomato Paste
Mix and Combine for about 2-5 min
Add in your garlic last as it has a tendency to burn and mix in
Add 4 cups of beef broth to help deglaze the skillet so be sure to get around the edges and the bottom when you're mixing and let simmer for about 10 min
Add 1 can of crushed tomatoes (about 14 oz) and 28 oz of tomato sauce and mix
FINAL STEPS
Add in the rest of your basil and some parsley
Add a pinch of sugar to balance all the flavor (taste as you go and adjust the flavor as needed) You may need to add some more salt, beef bouillon powder, or All-Purpose Seasoning
Take your lasagna noodles and break them into 3 pieces and place them right into the pot
Mix and place the lid on until the noodles are an al dente texture. Cook for about 15-20 minutes
NOW YOU'RE LOOKIN' GOOD AND READY FOR YOUR #TRADEMARKMONEYSHOT
