Name: Mike's Lasagne
Ingredients: 1 Large red onion, chopped; 1 lb Lean ground beef; 1 lb Sweet Italian sausage; 4 Garlic cloves, pressed; 24 oz Tomato sauce; 6 oz Tomato paste; 1/2 c Dry red wine; 1/2 c Water; 1 ts Oregano, dried; 1/2 ts Black pepper; 1 lb Low fat ricotta cheese; 1 lb Mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced by machine; 1 c Shredded parmesan cheese; 16 Extra wide lasagna noodles

Bags of babies are found by trash compactors (as we all know); yet on the other side of this, a wounded American eagle was found recently in Maryland and rushed to emergency treatment. However, it died and a $5,000 reward was offered for the arrest of whoever injured it. It is illegal to ship a pregnant lobster: it's a $1,000 fine. In the State of Massachusetts there is an anti-cruelty law that makes it illegal to award a goldfish as a prize. Why? This is what it says, "To protect the tendency to dull humanitarian feelings and to corrupt morals of those who abuse them." The same people that want to save the goldfish are leading the parade, usually, to kill the babies.

INSTRUCTIONS

Get two large frying pans. Spray with the non-stick PAM or similiar. Place
the beef in one, the sausage in the other.  As the meat starts to change
colour, add 1/2 the onion and garlic to each pan.  Saute till meat is
brown and crumbly in both pans.  They will never get done at the same
time.  When brown, put all into one "Really Big" frying pan, dutch oven or
whatever. Add the tomato sauce and paste, wine, water, oregano, pepper and
a bit of salt if you are a salt lover.  Stir, cover and cook for a couple
of hours.
Cook the lasagana noodles cooking as per package directions.  After they
are cooked, rinse a couple of times with cold water to cool them hot
puppies down.  Grab a deep (2-3 inch) 9 X 13 in casserole dish or pan.
Criss cross a layer of noodles for the first layer, followed by about 1/3
of the sauce, then 1/3 of the ricotta and then 1/3 of the mozzarella.  Do
the pasta, sauce, ricotta and mozzarella 2 more times till gone.  Spread
the parmesan over the top.  Cook in a pre-heated 350^ oven for
60    minutes.
One of my favorites, as well as mom's.  Freezes well and is great on a cold
winter night when you want something warm and hearty but don't feel like
cooking.  Serve with hot sour dough garlic french bread and a tossed green
salad.
