Pesto Lasagna Soup Bake

A cozy twist on classic lasagna, this Pesto Lasagna Soup Bake combines vibrant flavors in a comforting bowl.

Ingredients

  • Lasagna noodles
  • Pesto
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Chicken or vegetable broth
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Spinach or kale
  • Garlic

Instructions

  1. Boil the noodles: Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add your lasagna noodles. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the garlic: In a large pot, heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the broth and tomatoes: Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth and 1 can of diced tomatoes. Stir to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Incorporate the greens: Toss in fresh spinach or kale and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, until wilted.
  5. Pesto power: Stir in 1 cup of your favorite pesto. Taste and adjust based on your preference.
  6. Combine with noodles: Break lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and gently fold into the soup mixture. Cook for another 5 minutes on low heat.
  7. Cheesy goodness: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Layer with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake to perfection: Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

Serve with a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley, and pair with a salad or garlic bread.
