"It takes a little work, but it is worth it."

Original recipe yield: 12 servings

Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 2 Hours 30 Minutes
Ready In: 3 Hours 15 Minutes

!~ INGREDIENTS ~!

1 pound sweet Italian sausage
3/4 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (6.5 ounce) cans canned tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 lasagna noodles
16 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

!~ DIRECTIONS ~!

1) In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over
medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste,
tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian
seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer,
covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

2) Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna
noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse
with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg,
remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

3) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

4) To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13
inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread
with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of
mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella,
and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with
remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent
sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil
does not touch the cheese.

5) Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an
additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Sweet I'm on da way...

A Dutch oven is a type of POT that is made in The Netherlands (where
some of my overseas friends are) it's used for open fire cooking or type
of oven cooking you can use especially made to cook Stews, Pasta,
Lasagna, Casserolles in...that type!! ^_^

No problem cutie pie...but I guess what they are saying in this recipe
is that you can use a type of OVEN or STOVE like cooking ware to put
lasanga in to broil as a substitute!!
