Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Break the noodles into small pieces and boil according to package instructions. Drain and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking and set aside.

Next, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sausage, garlic, and oregano and cook until the sausage is cooked through, crumbling as it cooks. You can use hot or mild Italian sausage, or a combination of the two. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine.

Then, add the chicken broth, water, and entire can of diced tomatoes (undrained). Stir to combine. Cover and bring to a slow simmer. Uncover and cook until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.

Next, add the cooked noodles and stir to combine. Add the heavy cream, parmesan, and basil and stir to combine. Continue to simmer for a few minutes.

When ready to serve, ladle into bowls and add a large dollop of ricotta cheese to the center of each. Do not skip the ricotta! This is what really makes this dish taste like lasagna! Garnish with additional chopped basil and enjoy!

Leftovers should be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. The noodles will absorb some of the liquid overnight but will be just as tasty and flavorful the next day.
