Ingredients:
10 Dreamfields lasagna noodles, uncooked
8 ounces lean hamburger
8 ounces mild Italian sausage
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 jar (26 ounces) marinara sauce
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano
1/4 cup water
15 ounces part-skim ricotta
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of the Mozzarella cheese. Spread 2 1/2 cups of meat sauce, 5 more lasagna noodles, remaining ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Layer the rest of the meat sauce and the rest of the Mozzarella cheese.
