12 lasagna noodles
1 lb sweet Italian sausage
3/4 lb hamburger
3/4 cup sweet onion, minced
3 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
3 cups tomatoes, crushed
12 ounces tomato paste
2 cups homemade tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
2 TBS sugar, white
4 TBS fresh parsley, chopped
2 cups ricotta cheese
1-1/2 tsp basil leaves, dried
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 TBS sea salt
1 cup pepperoni, sliced1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

In a large dutch oven saute the sausage, hamburger, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Next add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water. Season with sugar, basil, Italian seasoning, 1 TBS sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and 2 TBS fresh chopped parsley. Simmer covered for approximately 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add 1 TBS of vegetable oil to water, preventing the noodles from sticking. Cook noodles for 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.

In a bowl combine ricotta cheese, egg and remaining parsley with 1/2 tsp sea salt.

First spread 1-1/2 cups of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Place 6 noodles lengthwise over the meat sauce. Spread 1/2 of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles. Top with 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon and another 1-1/2 cups of meat sauce over the cheese slices and sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers and top with the pepperoni - remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with tin foil that was sprayed with vegetable oil on one side to prevent cheese from sticking. Make certain the foil does not touch the cheese.

Time to place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the tin foil and bake an additional 25 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving. Get your garlic bread ready and then serve your main dish.
