Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! This recipe is designed to be as straightforward as possible because, as I always say, home cooking is about love, not stress.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and diced chicken thighs. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, stirring occasionally, about 6-7 minutes.
- Stir in the oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another minute until the spices are fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Reduce the heat and add the broken lasagna noodles. Cook until the noodles are al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Let everything simmer gently until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy, about 5 minutes.
- Finally, add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
