1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
8 ounces mild or hot Italian sausage
1 can (15 ounces) tomato puree
2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste
3 tablespoons dried parsley flakes, divided
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dried basil
1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 garlic clove, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups (24 ounces) cream-style cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon pepper
9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

In a Dutch oven, cook beef and sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato puree, tomato paste, 1 tablespoon parsley, sugar, basil, 1 teaspoon salt and garlic. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, pepper, and remaining parsley and salt.
Spread 1/2 cup meat mixture in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Layer with three noodles, a third of the cheese mixture, 1-1/3 cups mozzarella cheese and a third of remaining meat sauce. Repeat layers twice.
Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
Yield: 12 servings.
