Triple Layer Lasagna

1/2 Lb. Ground Beef
1 Lb. Italian Sausage
1 Small Yellow Onion, Minced
3 Garlic Cloves, Minced
2 Tomatoes, Chopped
6 Oz. Tomato Paste
8 Oz. Tomato Sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1/2 C. Water
1 1/2 Tbsp. Sugar
1/2 Jalapeno Pepper, Chopped
1/2 Tbsp. Fresh Basil, Chopped
2 Tbsp. Italian Parsley, Split into (2)-1 Tbsp.
1 Tsp. Fresh Rosemary, Chopped
1 Tsp. Fennel Seed
1/2 Jalapeno Pepper, Chopped
1/2 Tbsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Ground Black Pepper
9-12 Lasagna Noodles (depending on pan size. I chose to make a smaller amount)
One Container (15 oz) Ricotta Cheese...I personally thought more could be used. Maybe a half of another container.
1/2 C. Grated Parmesan Cheese, Plus Extra
8 oz. Mozzarella Cheese, Cut into thin slices

Place the Italian sausage, ground beef, onion and garlic in large pot on medium heat. Once well browned, add the tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and olive oil. Mix well. Add the water, sugar, basil, half of the parsley, rosemary, fennel, jalapeno, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for about an hour to an hour and a half.
Boil noodles according to directions, about 8 minutes.
Mix together the Ricotta cheese with the second half of the parsley.
Place noodles in the bottom of the pan. Add a layer of the ricotta, a layer of the meat and a layer of the Mozzarella cheese. Repeat.
