02 - 1 small onion, diced
03 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
04 - 9 ounces ground beef
05 - 14 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
06 - 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
07 - 2 tablespoons tomato paste
08 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
09 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
10 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
11 - 3.5 ounces lasagne sheets, broken into bite-sized pieces
12 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Cheese Mixture
13 - 5 ounces ricotta cheese
14 - 1.7 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
15 - 0.9 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
16 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
17 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Croissant Bowls
18 - 2 large ready-made croissant dough sheets or 4 large croissants, halved and hollowed
19 - 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
→ Garnishes
20 - Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
21 - Extra grated Parmesan, if desired
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. If using croissant dough sheets, cut into 4 equal squares. Drape each square over a greased oven-safe bowl or ramekin, gently shaping to form bowls. Brush with egg wash and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool and remove from molds. If using croissants, slice horizontally and hollow out each half to create bowls.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté 2–3 minutes until softened.
03 - Add ground beef to the pot and cook until well browned, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat as needed.
04 - Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef or vegetable broth, tomato paste, oregano, basil, chili flakes if using, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
05 - Add broken lasagne sheets to the soup. Simmer gently for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente.
06 - In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine ricotta, grated mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper.
07 - Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
08 - Place a croissant bowl on each plate. Spoon hot lasagne soup into each bowl. Top with a generous spoonful of cheese mixture and garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan if desired.
