Procedure:

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

• Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 tsp salt.

• 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.

• 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.
