In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, add garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 tbsp. salt, and 2 tbsp. parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water t o a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 tsp salt.

Preheat oven to 375F.

To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9X13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.

Bake in preheat oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
