    Lasagna Recipe
    Sauce
    – 1 lb sweet Italian sausage
    – 1 lb ground beef
    – 32oz crushed tomatoes
    – 1/2 tube of tomato paste
    – 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
    – 4-5 garlic cloves, mined
    – 1 Tbsp sugar (yes, I know.. leave it out if you want)
    – 1 tsp each dried basil, oregano, rosemary
    – 1/2 tsp sage
    – Dash of cinnamon to taste
    – Salt and pepper to taste

    Ricotta Mixture
    – 32oz whole milk ricotta
    – 2-3oz grated Parmesan
    – 2 eggs
    – Parsley, finely chopped
    – Salt and pepper

    Other
    – 16oz low moisture mozzarella, grated
    – 5oz grated Parmesan (may not use all of it)
    – 1 lb lasagna sheets

    Saute the onions and garlic in a large pot until soft. Add the sausage and ground beef and brown. Stir in the tomato paste and saute for a few minutes to cook out the raw tomato paste flavor.

    Add in the crushed tomatoes and seasonings. Bring to a boil then turn it down to low and cover with a lid. Allow to simmer for a few hours until slightly reduced. Allow to cool.

    Mix all ricotta ingredients and place in the fridge while making the sauce.

    Set oven to 375°. Boil lasagna noodles until half cooked. Drain and set aside.

    In a lasagna pan, start with a small amount of sauce, add a layer of noodles, a layer of ricotta, and then sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella. Repeat these steps until you get to the last layer of sauce. Top with lots of Parmesan and mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake for 45 mins.

    Uncover and broil until golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with parsley and extra Parmesan. Allow to stand 15 mins before serving.
