A delicious and hearty Italian-style lasagna recipe that combines layers of rich meat sauce, creamy ricotta, and gooey cheese for a comforting meal.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage and ground beef until browned.
Break up the meat into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Cook the onions until translucent for the best flavor.
Stir in the basil, oregano, fennel seed, salt, pepper, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and sugar. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Simmer the sauce uncovered to allow it to thicken.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and parsley until smooth.
Use a fork to blend the mixture evenly.
Spread a layer of sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Layer noodles, cheese mixture, mozzarella, and sauce. Repeat layers, ending with sauce and parmesan.
Ensure the top layer is fully covered with sauce to prevent the noodles from drying out.
Cover the dish with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
