INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 8 ounces Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can tomato puree
• 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
• 9 lasagna noodles
• 3 cups cottage cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 16 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook ground beef and sausage over medium heat until brown; drain. Stir in tomato puree, tomato paste, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, garlic, and 1 1/2 tablespoons parsley. Reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
3. In a bowl, stir together cottage cheese, eggs, pepper, Parmesan, 1 1/2 tablespoons parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until blended.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer a third each of the noodles, sliced mozzarella, cottage cheese mixture, and meat sauce. Repeat layers twice.
5. Bake lasagna in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until hot and bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
