Crockpot at the Ready!

Ingredients (for 2 people):

• 1 onion (chopped)

• 1 cup mozzarelle (shredded)
• 1/2 cup Parmesan 
• 1/4 cup basil leaves (chopped)

Instructions:

In a skillet, sauté the onions over medium heat. Add the onions and stir for 5 min. Add the garlic, beed, sausage, and salt and pepper, and cook for a further 5 min. until the meat has turned brown.

In the same pot, add the tomato paste, marinara sauce, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir everything together and bring to a boil.

Break the lasagna noodles into medium-sized pieces and add to the pot. Stir and let cook for 10 min. until the noodles becomes al dente.
