Instruktioner

Boil noodles until al dente. Drain and rinse. Lay flat on clean dish towel.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, 10 oz. of mozzarella cheese, and 2 oz. of parmesan cheese. Add egg and mix well. Keep in refrigerator until ready to assemble lasagna.

Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft. Add garlic, ground beef, sausage, salt, and pepper (to taste) - and cook until browned. Drain excess fat and return meat to pan.

Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, broth, tomato paste, sugar, and seasonings. Simmer on medium low for 20 - 30 minutes, or until reduced slightly. Remove from heat, and cool slightly.

To assemble lasagna, add a small amount of sauce to bottom of pan. Layer noodles, meat sauce, mushrooms, ham rounds, and cheese mixture. Repeat three times, and add remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese to the top.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake lasagna (covered) for 30 minutes or so. Then remove cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until top is slightly browned.

Let the lasagna sit in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before slicing it. This will allow the juices to absorb into the pasta and the servings will hold their shape.
