| 1 | pound | ground beef | lean or italian sausage |
| 3 | tablespoons | olive oil | |
| 1 | large | onion | chopped (to make 1 cup) |
| 1 | large | sweet bell pepper | red or green, finely chopped |
| 2 | large | garlic cloves | minced |
| 28 | ounces | tomatoes | plum italian |
| 6 | ounces | tomato paste | one small can |
| 1/3 | cup | water | |
| 2 | teaspoons | basil | dried |
| 1 | teaspoon | oregano | |
| 1 | teaspoon | sugar | (optional) |
| 1 | x | black pepper | freshly ground |
| 1 | each | bay leaf | broken in half |
| 15 | ounces | ricotta cheese | fresh |
| 4 | cups | mozzarella cheese | grated |
| 1/4 | cup | parmesan, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated | |
| 1 | large | egg | |
| 2 | teaspoons | salt | |
| 6 | ounces | lasagna noodles | 8 whole noodles |
| 1 | tablespoon | olive oil | |
| 1/4 | cup | parmesan, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated | freshly grated |
| 1/4 | cup | mozzarella cheese | freshly grated |
Remove sausage casings and crumble sausage. Brown meat in large pot, stirring occasionally to break up the meat. Drain off fat.
Remove meat and set aside. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in the same pot, add onion, garlic and bell pepper and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 8 minutes or until onion is tender.
Stir in the reserved meat, tomato puree, tomato paste, water, basil, oregano, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bay leaf and bring to boil. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours, or until flavors mingle and mixture thickens slightly (there will be about 4 1/2 to 5 cups of sauce).
Combine ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan, egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
Bring 3 quarts of water to boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt, then gradually add lasagne noodles so that water continues to boil. Cook noodles until barely tender, about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice; do not overcook. Drain noodles; rinse in cold water and drain well. Return noodles to pot and toss them gently with 1 tablespoon oil to prevent them sticking.
Line the bottom of a a buttered 9 x 13 x 2-inch pan with 4 lasagne noodles, cutting one as necessary to completely cover the bottom. Spread evenly with half of ricotta mixture (1 generous cup). Sprinkle evenly with half of mozarella (about 2 cups). Spread with half of the tomato/meat sauce.
Top with remaining 4 noodles, cutting one noodle as above so that the sauce mixture is completely covered. Evenly layer on remaining ingredients in the same order as above. Sprinkle the top of the lasagne evenly with 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1/4 cup mozzarella.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375 for about 45 or 50 minutes or until lasagne is hot in center. Remove from oven; let stand for 15 minutes.
Cut in squares and serve on heated plates with garlic bread.

General:Dill is a tall, feathery annual, Anethum graveolens, in the parsley family. Both Dill Seed and Weed (dried leaves) come from the same plant....
This is very good. I was in a rush and baked it in the oven one hour at 350 degrees, and it came out great. Recommended.
