One Pot Lasagna Pasta is a true dinner hero. The noodles simmer right in the sauce (which is cartooned soup) with ground beef and it's topped with whipped cottage cheese to make it taste just like lasagna!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt separate
  • ½ medium white onion minced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning separated
  • cup dry red wine we used pinto noir
  • 4 cups Pacific Foods tomato and roasted red pepper soup the whole container
  • 8 oz. long pasta we used Long Fusilli Col Buco (linguini works too)
  • 11 oz. 2% cottage cheese
  • cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Heat a large Dutch oven or pot over medium/high heat. Add the ground beef and ½ teaspoon of salt to the pot and partially cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the onions, garlic, remaining salt, and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning to the beef and stir to combine. Let the beef cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  • Deglaze the pot with the red wine and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Next, add the tomato soup and ⅓ cup of water to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil.

  • Once boiling, add the pasta to the pot and turn the heat to medium. Let the pasta cook, stirring periodically to make sure the pasta isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pot. Stirring the pasta will also ensure the pasta will cook evenly.* This process will take around 15 minutes, depending on the noodles.

  • While the pasta is cooking, whip the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth. Add the parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, red pepper flakes, and the remaining Italian seasoning. Pulse until combined.

Tips & Notes

  • Any creamy tomato soup will work for this recipe. Just keep in mind that the taste of the dish depends on what soup is used.
  • We tested this recipe using both Long Fusili Col Buco and linguine. Any type of pasta will likely work, but we have only tested this recipe with long noodles.
  • If you use a thicker noodle or more than 8 oz. pasta you will need more liquid. Add enough water or soup so all the pasta is covered.
  • Add more spice to this dish by adding more pepper flakes.
