Spray Lasagna pans with Pam Cooking Spray or equivalent.

Pull out a large electric skillet or extra large pan and two large mixing bowls.

DIRECTIONS

MEAT SAUCE
*Cook Sausage, Lean Ground Beef, (chop both meats up very fine in pan. Also note that this meat mixture shouldn't be a thick layer. use just enough to cover pan and noodle layers) Onion & Garlic over medium heat until well browned. Drain excess oil if any.
*Stir in Crushed Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Tomato Sauce, & 1 cup Red Wine OR 1 cup Water (Or half and half. Don't use a cup of each) Season with Sugar, Basil, Fennel Seeds, Bay Leaves, Italian Seasoning, 2 tbs Salt, Ground Pepper and 8 tbs Parsley.
*Simmer covered for about 2 hours. Stir responsibly.
NOODLES
*Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Or you can simply soak uncooked Lasagne Noodles in a pan of hot water for 20-30 mins, then pull out and set to the side cover

Here's an easier tip for Lasagna assembly: If you know how many layers of Lasagna you're going to make (3 or 4 depending upon your pan size) divide every ASSEMBLY INGREDIENT in half or quarters as the recipe calls for. (meat sauce, fresh tomatoes, ricotta mixture, basil, parsley, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses) This way you're not overloading one Lasagna and subtracting from the other.

*Please, please, please trust me when I say that this dish is exponentially better if made today and allowed to chill covered for 24 hours prior to baking! This recipe also freezes great either cooked or uncooked. Personally, I always make two pans, freeze one immediately and allow the other sit for 24 hours then bake it. However, due to time restraints and unexpected guests arriving, I have been forced to bake both immediately after constructing and it STILL received rave reviews!
