Instructions

Cook the Meat

Cook sausage, ground beef, garlic and onion over medium heat until well browned.
Prepare the Sauce

Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, oregano, thyme, rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Cover and allow to simmer for about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
Cook the Lasagna Noodles

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.
Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and seasoning salt.
Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Assemble the Lasagna

Spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with 1/3 of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Cover with foil. Prevent sticking by spraying foil with cooking spray. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Final Bake, Cool, and Serve

Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
