Steps:
- In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and 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 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to 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 teaspoon salt.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 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 Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Start with the following in a pot: 1 pound (450 g) of sweet Italian sausage 1 pound (450 g) of ground beef 1/2 cup (120 mL) of chopped onions 2 cloves of garlic chopped The flavor of the Italian sausage varies from brand to brand. You may need to try a different brand the first couple of times you cook this dish. Find the flavor you like the best. Brown the ground beef, Italian sausage, onions and garlic in a pot until they start to cook. It takes about 6 to 9 minutes to brown the meat. I like to use a Dutch oven to cook this portion of the recipe. I use a medium low temperature to brown the meat. It is optional to remove the grease from the meat once it is finished browning, your choice. Add the following: 1 (28 ounce) (784 g) can of crushed tomatoes 2 (8 ounce) (230 g) cans of tomato sauce 2 (6 ounce) (168 g) cans of tomato paste 1/2 (120 mL) cup of water Gently stir this into the cooking meat. Add the following: 2 tablespoons (30 mL) white sugar 1 teaspoon (5 mL) fennel seed 2 teaspoons (10 mL) fresh Basil leaves chopped 2 tablespoons (30 mL) fresh Italian parsley chopped 1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt 1 teaspoon (5 mL) Italian Seasoning 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) ground pepper Gently stir these seasoning into the sauce Cover the pot and let the meat sauce simmer. Simmer on low heat for 1 hour and 30 minutes This is the ideal simmer time but not mandatory. If you don't have time it will still be great after one hour of simmering. I will sometimes make this sauce and refrigerate it after it finishes simmering. I will use the meat sauce the next day to put the rest of this recipe together. For some reason Italian meat sauce taste even better the next day. But that's up to you. Soak 12 lasagna noodles. The lasagna noodles need to be soaked in hot tap water for 15 minutes. While the noodles are soaking you can make the cheese filling. Put the following in a mixing bowl: 23 ounces (644 g) of ricotta cheese. 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) fresh grated nutmeg Grate fresh nutmeg over the Ricotta cheese. Add the following: 1 egg 2 tablespoons (30 mL) fresh Italian parsley chopped Mix these ingredients together with a spoon Now we start building the lasagna layers. Use a 9×13 inch baking pan. Spread 2 Cups (480 mL) of meat sauce on the bottom of the pan. Remove your lasagna noodles out of the water bath. Shake water off wet noodles. Lay 6 noodles across the layer of sauce Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the layer of noodlesSpread 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer. Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella layer Spread 2 cups (480 mL) of meat sauce over the cheese layer Lay down the next layer of noodles Spread the remaining ricotta mixture over noodles Spread the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses saving some cheese for the top of the lasagna Put the last layer of meat sauce on the cheeses Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. It should look similar to the picture above. Cover with foil Bake in preheated oven at 350 F (177 C) for 25 minutes Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 25 minutesRemove from oven and allow to cool for approximately 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Make the meat sauce: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground sirloin, sausage, and prosciutto, being careful not to overmix. Shape into 5-6 large, shaggy meatballs.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the meatballs and brown on all sides, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with the remaining meatballs.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion. Season with salt and sauté until translucent, 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes, and fennel seeds. Sauté for 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, until the color turns dark red, 3-4 minutes.
- Deglaze the pot with the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, and cook until the liquid has almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes.
- Add the canned tomatoes, passata, carrot, butter, the browned meatballs, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1½-2 hours, until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and discard the carrot, then use a potato masher to crush the meatballs into small pieces. Season the sauce with more salt to taste. If the sauce tastes too acidic, add the granulated sugar. Stir in the basil leaves and set aside.
- Make the béchamel sauce: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once the butter starts to foam, add the flour. Cook, whisking constantly, for about 3 minutes, until no lumps remain but the roux has not yet browned. While whisking, slowly pour in the milk until evenly incorporated. Whisk in the salt, garlic powder, and nutmeg. Bring to a low simmer and cook, whisking often, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 8-10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
- Assemble the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9 x 13 x 3-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Add no-boil lasagna noodles to a large baking dish or bowl. Cover with hot water and add the olive oil. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, until the noodles are a bit more pliable, but still snap when broken in half.
- Spread about ¾ cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add a layer of lasagna noodles. Spread about 1 heaping cup of béchamel over noodles in an even layer. Top with 1 heaping cup of meat sauce, followed by ¼ cup fontina and ¼ cup grated mozzarella. Add another layer of noodles, arranging in the opposite direction as the first layer, and top with about 1 heaping cup of béchamel. Repeat to make 4 more layers, ending with a layer of lasagna noodles.
- Spread 1 cup of béchamel, then 1 cup of meat sauce over the noodles. Scatter the remaining ½ cup of fontina, the fresh mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano on top. Reserve the remaining meat sauce for serving. Cover the baking dish with a sheet of foil (grease the underside with nonstick spray to prevent the cheese from sticking) and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake the lasagna for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Broil for 1-2 minutes, if desired, to brown the cheese. Remove from the oven and let the lasagna sit for at least 20 minutes to cool.
- Garnish the lasagna with the basil, then serve with the reserved meat sauce alongside.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Make the pasta dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the 00 flour, spinach powder, and salt. Transfer to a clean surface and make a large well in the center. Add the egg yolks and eggs and mix with a fork, slowly incorporating the flour with egg mixture until a loose dough begins to form.
- Once all of the flour has been incorporated, knead the dough by hand for 20 minutes, until stiff. Depending on the size of the eggs, a few tablespoons of water or a light dusting of flour may be needed to bring the dough together.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Lightly dust the dough with flour and roll out to a long oval. Divide the oval in half and wrap one portion in plastic wrap. With the other portion, using the pasta roller attachment on a stand mixer, laminate and roll out the dough to setting #5. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Cut sheets of dough to fit a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking pan. Dust semolina between each sheet to prevent sticking.
- Make the bechamel: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the flour and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant. Slowly stream in the milk, whisking continuously. simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

- Remove the pot from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
- Make the meat gravy: Add the vegetable oil, butter, and onion to a large pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, 5 minutes. Add the garlic, celery and carrot and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring the vegetables to coat in the butter until fragrant. Season with the salt and pepper.
- Add the ground beef. Break up the meat very well, then season with more salt. Cook until the beef has lost its raw, red color, 4-5 minutes. Add water as needed to help the beef break down.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add the milk and simmer, stirring frequently, until it has bubbled away slightly, 15-20 minutes. Add the nutmeg and stir to combine. Add the wine and simmer until it has slightly evaporated, 10-15 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and stir thoroughly. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 2 hours or more, stirring often until the tomatoes have reduced slightly, and the fat has separated on the top. Remove the pot from the heat, season with salt and pepper to taste, and let cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
- Assemble the lasagna: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set nearby.
- Working in batches, blanch the pasta sheets in the boiling water for 30-60 seconds, then transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Immediately transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Separate each pasta sheet with nonstick spray and parchment paper.
- Begin layering the lasagna in a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish, starting with the meat gravy, then pasta, then bechamel, Parmesan cheese, gravy, shredded mozzarella, and more pasta. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, then finish with a layer of sliced mozzarella
