Preparation

Step 1

Over medium heat sauté sausage, beef, onion and garlic until browned. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, basil, fennel, pepper and parsley. Mix well. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and 1 cup of water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat; simmer, covered and stirring occasionally, until thick, about 1½ hours.

Mix cheese-filling ingredients in bowl and mix well. Refrigerate meat sauce and cheese overnight to blend flavors.

Layer lasagna starting with sauce, noodles, and cheese-filling.

Bake, covered at 375F for 40 min. Uncover and top with cheeses. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until bubbly.
