👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Cook the sausage:
   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Remove excess grease if needed.

2. Sauté the aromatics:
   Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot. Cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add liquids and pasta:
   Pour in the chicken broth and water. Stir in the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

4. Cook the lasagna noodles:
   Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until noodles are tender.

5. Make the Alfredo sauce (in a separate pan while noodles cook):
   In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Let it thicken slightly, then stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Stir until melted and smooth.

6. Combine and finish:
   Pour the creamy Alfredo sauce into the soup pot. Stir to combine everything and let it simmer for 2-3 more minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.

7. Serve:
   Ladle into bowls and garnish with parsley, extra Parmesan, or a small scoop of ricotta.
