INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
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.
4.
Preheat
oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a deep 9x13 pan.
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.
6. Bake
in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25
minutes to allow cheese to brown. Serve hot.
