Ingredients

1 lb. sweet Italian sausage
2 (16 oz.) cans Italian-style tomatoes
1/4 c. chopped parsley
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. oregano leaves
1 Tbsp. olive oil
3 eggs
4 (8 oz.) pkg. Mozzarella cheese
2 lb. ground beef
1 minced garlic clove
4 (6 oz.) cans tomato paste
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh or 1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. fresh ground pepper

Directions

1

In a large Dutch oven, over medium heat, cook sausages until well browned.
2

Remove and cool slightly.
3

Cut into 1/4-inch slices. Or use ground flavored sausage and break apart while cooking. Remove fat and add ground beef and garlic.
4

Cook until browned. Return sausage to skillet and add tomatoes, paste, parsley, basil, sugar, oregano leaves and pepper.
5

Simmer until mixture thickens. (I sometimes use a quart and a half of home canned tomatoes, cooking takes a little longer to thicken.)
6

Cook lasagna noodles with olive oil as label directs and drain.
7

In a medium bowl, beat eggs.
8

Add Ricotta cheese.
9

(I have used cottage cheese pureed in food blender.)
10

Preheat oven to 350°.
11

Grease two 13 x 9-inch baking pans.
12

Thinly slice Mozzarella.
