Tripp loves lasagna!  We tried gluten free lasagna noodles!  yeah!  Regular lasagna noodles hold up better for day 2 eating but these GF noodles work like a charm!  

Ingredients

1/2 pound sweet italian sausage (out of casing)

1 pound lean ground beef

1 small onion chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

32 oz Grandma's Sunday Sauce

1 tablespoons white sugar

1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves chopped

1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

16 ounces ricotta cheese

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 pound mozzarella cheese shredded

1 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 box lasagna noodles

Directions

Moms Jobs:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Mix with 16 oz pasta sauce.
• Chop basil and chop parsley into small confetti.
• Once Lasagna assembled, Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.

Tripp and Finn's Jobs:

• In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, most of the parsley and basil (leave a little bit to sprinkle on top), sugar, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, and 1/2 tspn salt.
• Assemble spread about 1 1/2 cups of Grandma's Sunday in the bottom of lasagna pan. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over pasta sauce. Top with Grandma's Sunday Spread with one third of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a 1/4 of mozzarella cheese. Spoon 1 1/4 cup meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat 3 layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
