Servings:

If using homemade vodka sauce, prepare first and preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Add the ground beef and sausage to a large pot and brown it completely. This should take a few minutes. Season it with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir in the vodka sauce and simmer on low for 25 minutes.
Cook the lasagna noodles in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain, and rinse under cold water. I like to place the noodles in a dish with cold water so they don't stick.
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, fresh parsley, fresh basil, 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese, and egg. Season generously with salt and pepper.
In the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, spread one cup of the meat sauce. Arrange a single layer of lasagna noodles. Spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles and then top it off with fresh mozzarella cheese. Spoon one cup of meat sauce over the cheese. Repeat two more times, for a total of three layers. Make sure to finish with meat sauce , shredded mozzarella cheese and remaining parmesan cheese over the meat sauce.
Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Once the 40 minutes are up, uncover and bake for 5 minutes and then broil for 1-2 minutes.
Allow the lasagna to set for 20 minutes before slicing into it and enjoy!

Use disposable aluminum pans for easy cleanup.
Once the lasagna comes out of the oven, allow it to set for 20 minutes before slicing into it, otherwise, it will fall apart.
Make sure to season the vodka sauce and ricotta cheese generously with salt and pepper. Also, cook the lasagna noodles in boiling salted water for best results.
