Lasagna soup first hit the internet in 2023 when Danny Freeman, who operates under the nickname @dannylovespasta, shared a video of his recipe. Since then, the dish has become increasingly popular on TikTok, maintaining its viral status to this day.
The key to this dish is that instead of putting noodles, cheese and marinara in it and putting it in the oven, the gastro reference combined everything in one pot, which managed to eclipse even stars like SZA and a whole virtual community that uploads its iterations to the hastag #lasagnasoup. According to the content creator, the secret ingredient is his favourite pasta sauce from @raoshomemade, made with Italian tomatoes and simmered in open pots.
Rao’s even wanted to pay tribute to Danny’s lasagne soup, which we wanted to share with you. Take note.
Receta
1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it loses its colour, about 7 minutes.
2. Add the garlic and sauté for one minute. Then add the meat, Italian sausage, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Break up the meat and cook.
3. Add the garlic and sauté for one minute. Add Rao’s homemade Marinara sauce. Then mix in the chicken stock and heavy cream and bring to the boil.
4. Once the soup is boiling, add the lasagna noodles and cook until tender, 10-15 minutes.
5. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella until melted. Top with basil.
