Lasagna

Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian sausage 
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 2 cans 28 ounce tomato sauce 
• 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• Lasagna noodles / Zucchini strips
• 30 ounces ricotta cheese
• 2 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2-3 cups mozzarella 
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1.  Cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with basil, Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. 
3. If making zucchini noodles slice the noodles 1/8 inch thick and salt. Let them sit for 20 minutes and then dry with a towel before building your lasagna. 
4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 dried (not cooked) noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
