One of the oldest Italian recipes ever made is lasagna. People used to make it in the past with freshly-prepared pasta and hand- picked tomatoes. However, in recent days many chefs have found easier ways to make pasta while keeping the freshness of its savory taste. Lasagna have a very powerful taste thanks to the herbs and spices used.

In this recipe, you don’t need to use many utensils; only one pot and one dish. You are free to add any vegetable or type of cheese you think will go well with this dish. One Pot Lasagna Soup is very time efficient, too. With the use of the jar of pasta sauce, you don’t need to waste your time making the sauce. One pot lasagna soup is a great idea to make for your dinner because it is one of the quickest and best lasagnas you can ever make.
