The best lasagna.

400 g uncured sausage (Italian, or according to your choice and taste, semi-fresh)
350 g lean ground beef
half a cup of minced onion
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 can (500 g) of ground tomatoes
2 x (180g) tins of tomato sauce
2 x (180 g) tins of tomato paste
½ cup of water
2 spoons of sugar
4 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons of dried basil leaves
1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
12 lasagna crusts
400 g of ricotta cheese
1 egg
300 g of mozzarella cheese, sliced
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

In a deep pan, sauté the sausage, ground beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until well browned.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste and water.
Season with sugar, 2 tablespoons of parsley, basil, 1 teaspoon of salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
Simmer, covered, for about 1,5 hours, stirring occasionally.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Cook the lasagna crusts in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes (or according to package directions, if it says otherwise).
Drain the noodles and rinse with cold water.
In a mixing bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the egg and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
How do you make lasagna?
Spread 1,5 cups of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 34 x 22 cm baking dish.
Arrange the lasagna shells lengthwise over the meat sauce, overlapping slightly.
Spread with 1/2 of the ricotta cheese mixture.
Place 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese on top.
Spoon 1 ½ cups of the meat sauce over the mozzarella and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
Repeat the layers, as long as you have crusts, and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, depending on how well your oven works.
Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes.
Leave the finished lasagna for 15 minutes to cool and rest before serving.
