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.

Steps:
- Chop the onion, garlic, mushrooms, bacon, olives and sun dried tomatoes before you start to cook.
- Cook the onions and garlic first.
- Add the beef and brown about half-way through.
- Add green pepper, mushroom, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and bacon.
- Add the stewed tomatoes. Cut them apart with the spatula or a knife as you add them.
- Add as much red wine and balsamic vinegar as you wish. (I think the secret of the lasagna is in the wine and vinegar though, so I add about 3 tablespoons and a 1/4 of a cup).
- Add salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.
- Let the sauce stew as long as needed (the longer the better).
- Meanwhile, heat the milk gently in a saucepan.
- Add the flour gradually, stirring constantly. Add the parmesan cheese to the sauce as well.
- When the white sauce is thicker than pancake mix (about 10 minutes), remove from heat.
- In an 8x8 or round lasagna dish, layer like this: meat layer, lasagna sheet, white sauce.
- Finish with a white sauce layer and cover with mozzarella cheese.
- Cook at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
