- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons marjoram (dried)
- 2 teaspoons thyme

- 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 10 ounces lasagna noodles

- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1⁄4 cup parsley (snipped)
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced
directions
- Brown ground beef and saugage, season to taste with salt and pepper, drain and set aside.
- Sauté garlic, onion, and bell pepper in olive oil, just until the onions are translucent.
- Add meat, tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, herbs and spices, mushrooms, sugar, and wine. I use fresh mushrooms, and a red burgandy for a deeper earthy flavor.
- Simmer on medium low for at least one hour, stirring occasionally.
- Mix corn starch with water and add to sauce, along with both cheeses to thicken.
- When cheese is incorporated, and sauce has thickened you're ready to begin assembling your lasagna.
- Mix eggs, ricotta, parmesan & parsley together.
- Put a small amount of sauce in bottom of 15x10x2 pan (just enough to cover the bottom) then put half lasagna noodles on top of sauce.
- Spread with 1/2 cheese mixture, meat & mozzarella, repeat the layers of pasta, cheese mixture & meat.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes @ 375°, uncover & add remaining mozzarella cheese, bake an additional 15 minutes. (I have also put in oven @ 250° for two hours then bump up temp to 375° for final 15 minutes to melt the additional mozzarella).
- Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
