I lucked onto this one way back when but it still gets rave reviews from family and friends. The sauce is short-cooked but quite tasty. The final product is just short of heaven to my family. Prep is time-consuming but bake time is not.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, uncased (I use hot)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 (or more) cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional & I don't use)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 3 24-26 ounce cans roma tomatoes (I use puree instead)
  • 1 small can tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • lasagna noodles (I use the no-boil ones)
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  3. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
  4. Add sugar (if using), 1 tablespoon salt, basil, pepper and 1/2 the parsley.
  5. Mix well.
  6. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and 1/2 cup water.
  7. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer (stirring occasionally) for 1 1/2 hours.
  8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  9. Combine ricotta, remaining parsley, egg and salt.
  10. Mix well.
  11. Spoon about 1 1/2 cups of the meat sauce into the bottom of a 13x9x2 pan.
  12. Layer pan with noodles.

  14. Top with 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese.
