    • 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
    • 1/2 tsp. salt
    • 1 large egg
    • 30 ounces ricotta cheese
    • 1 pound lasagna noodles
    • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley divided
    • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp. salt
    • 1 tsp. ground oregano
    • 1 tsp. fennel seeds
    • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
    • 2 tbsp. white sugar
    • 1/2 cup chicken broth
    • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
    • 2 6 ounce can tomato paste
    • 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
    • 5 cloves garlic crushed
    • 1 large white onion minced
    • 1 pound lean ground beef
    • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
03 Method
  • Step 1
    In a large pot over medium heat, add in ground sausage and ground beef. Use a spoon to break up the meat into small pieces. Add in onion and garlic and cook until meat is well browned, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar, fresh basil, fennel, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, place lasagna noodles into the bottom of a pan. Pour hot tap water directly over the noodles, making sure the pasta is completely immersed in the water. Let them soak for 30 minutes, then drain and discard water.
  • Step 3
    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining 2 tablespoons parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg. Refrigerate until ready to assemble lasagna.
  • Step 4
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a deep 9x13 pan.
  • Step 5
    To assemble, spread about 1 cup of meat sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan. Place 4 noodles on top. Spread with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with 1/4 of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Repeat layering two more times to create three complete layers. To finish, place a final layer of pasta, topped with another 1 cup of meat sauce to cover the pasta. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Step 6
    Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes to allow cheese to brown. Serve hot.
