Step‑By‑Step Instructions
- In a large pot, heat over medium heat and add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until well-browned, about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside, leaving the flavorful drippings in the pot.
- In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring frequently for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the white beans. Raise the heat to high until boiling, then reduce to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, followed by the fresh spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Let simmer gently for another 5 minutes.
- Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and stir them in. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
- Once the noodles are tender, return the browned sausage to the pot, stirring everything together, and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, topped with extra grated Parmesan.
