Serves/Makes: 6
Ready in: 1-2 hrs

  • 6 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 pound bulk Italian pork sausage
  • 3/4 cup chopped onions
  • 1 can (28 ounce size) Italian-style peeled tomatoes, undrained, cut up
  • 1 can (6 ounce size) tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 container (15 ounce size) ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat a 4-quart saucepan over medium high heat. Add the ground beef, pork sausage, and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.

Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, sugar, oregano, salt, and garlic powder to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 35-45 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.

Place the eggs in a bowl and whisk until uniform in color. Stir in the ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Mix well then set aside.

Cook the lasagna noodles as directed on the package. Drain well and rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process.

Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles in a single layer in the baking dish over the sauce. To with half of the ricotta mixture, half of the remaining sauce, and half of the Mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers of lasagna noodles, ricotta, sauce, and Mozzarella.

Place the lasagna in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown. Remove the lasagna from the oven and cover the pan with foil. Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
