Directions

Preheat oven to 375° F.
Cook pasta noodles according to package directions.
Remove noodles from water when finished cooking and lay them out on paper towels.
In a skillet sauté the pepperoni over medium heat until crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Wipe out the skillet and add the hamburger and sausage with 1/2 cup of the onion.
Cook until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are tender.
Drain on a paper towel.
For the tomato sauce, heat the olive oil in a saucepan.
Add the onion and cook over medium heat until translucent.
Add the garlic and cook 2 more minutes.
Then add the tomatoes and cook over low heat 1/2 hour.
Add basil and oregano and continue to cook for another 1/2 hour.
Season with salt and pepper.
Cool and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
In a baking pan, pour one cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom and spread it out to cover.
Then layer 3-4 noodles on the sauce, overlapping slightly.
Top with 1/3 cup of ricotta, 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/3 of the sausage and hamburger, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Top with 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and 1/4 cup of the pepperoni.
Repeat layers 2 more times.
On the very top layer, finish with a layer of the remaining ricotta cheese, tomato sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni.
Sprinkle all over with parmesan cheese.
Bake 40-45 minutes or until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.

"I only used 1 box of noodles and this was more than plenty. I used crushed tomatoes instead of roma tomatoes to cut down on some prep time. Leftovers are even better - my husband only had the leftovers and he said it was the best lasagna he'd ever had."
