Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat then add the onion and garlic and cook until beginning to soften.
- Add the beef and sausage and cook until browned then stir in the basil, salt, tomato sauce and tomato paste - simmer together for about 30 minutes.
- If the lasagna noodles need to be pre cooked, do this now - according to package directions. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, parmesan, parsley, eggs, salt and pepper.
- Lightly grease a 9"x13" baking dish and spread a small amount of the tomato sauce in the bottom. Spread ⅓ of the ricotta mixture on some lasagna sheets, then lay them ricotta side up in the bottom of the pan. Spoon on about ⅓ of the meat sauce then sprinkle on ⅓ of the mozzarella. Repeat this process two more times, ending with the mozzarella.
- Bake at 375 for 30 minutes; let stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
