Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 1 medium size onion, chopped
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cans (8 oz each) tomato sauce
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon each of salt and oregano
1/2 teaspoon each of pepper and sugar

2 cups (1 lb) ricotta cheese
16 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheeseb

Directions: |
Directions:Remove sausage from casing by slicing down the long side of sausage and peeling off the casing. Discard the casings. In a frying pan over medium heat, cook onion in oil until the onion is soft. Add beef, sausage, and garlic and cook until meat is browned and crumbly (break up meat while browning with a spatula or I use the food processor to grind up the sausage after removing from casings before I add to pan). Spoon off and discard the excess fat from pan after meat is browned.
Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, wine, water, salt, oregano, pepper and sugar. Cover pan and simmer for about 1.5 hours.
Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray. Spread a thin layer of sauce over bottom. Arrange 1/3 of the noodles in an even layer over sauce. Spread 1/3 of sauce over noodles; dot with 1/3 of ricotta, then cover with 1/3 of mozzarella. Repeat this layering two more times. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top. If made ahead, cover and refrigerate.
Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven until hot and bubbly (40 to 50 minutes). Let rest for 10 min. after taking out of oven and cut into squares to serve. |
