Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Brown pork OR sausage and beef in a dutch oven or similar large, deep skillet.
3. Once meat is browned, add tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, 1 tbsp.
4. parsley, garlic, oregano, onion, sugar, basil and salt.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low and let sauce simmer for 30 minutes.
6. Give it a good stir every 5 minutes or so.
7. In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp parsley, salt and pepper.
8. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, place 2 layers of uncooked lasagna noodles on the bottom of dish; Assemble the remainder in the following sequence: cheese-egg mixture, sauce, mozzarella cheese (sliced or shredded), noodles; repeat layers ending with noodles.
9. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes .
10. Remove foil, cover top with more mozzerella and grated parmesan.
11. Bake for another 5-10 minutes .
12. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
13. NOTE: When assembling the lasagna, I use medium- thick slices of mozzerella rather than shredded. Either works great, the sliced cheese just seems to add a little extra "cheesiness".
