Pour in marinara, tomato sauce, tomato paste into a large pot and have stove on a simmer

Brown hamburger and sausage separately, strain off grease and add to the sauce

Sweat onions and garlic in olive oil til onions are just translucent and add to the sauce

Stir in all the remaining ingredients

Simmer sauce on low to medium, stirring frequently for about a half hour.

(This whole process will take about an hour from start to finish with the sauce)

Lightly wisk the eggs and then stir in the ricotta cheese til it becames creamy with few lumps

Stir in the cream cheese til again the mixture is creamy with few lumps

Stir in the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses til mixture is all cohesive

For the layering:

In a 9 x 11” pan combine all ingredients in the following layers:

Base layer: 1/2 cup of sauce

1st layer: 4 pasta sheets

2nd layer: 1/2 cup of cheese mixture spread evenly

3rd layer: handful of shredded mozzarella spread evenly

4th layer: 1 cup of sauce

Repeat 4 times (using all 16 sheets of the lasagna pasta)

The last step is to add shredded mozzarella over the last layer of sauce, cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour at 375 degrees.

Let sit for 5-10 minutes, cut into 8 portions and serve with garlic bread, a light salad and either a pinot noir or a sauvignon blanc.
