Ingredients:
8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
Salt and black pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Directions:
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions or until al dente.
Once the noodles are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked shredded chicken (if using), chopped spinach, and cannellini beans. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the spinach wilts.
