  • 2 cans (6.5 ounce) tomato sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 8 fresh whole wheat lasagna noodles
  • 16 ounces cheddar cheese

  • 3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 2/3 cup fresh chopped basil
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
  1. In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, diced chicken, onion, and garlic over medium heat until it is brown. Add tomato paste, tomato sauce, water and crushed tomatoes. Season it with freshly chopped basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, sugar, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Boil, covered, for about 90 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt to it. Cook whole wheat lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles before rinsing in cold water. In a mixing bowl, mix preheated cheddar cheese with egg, the remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  4. First, spread 1 and 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Then, arrange 6 noodle sheets lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread one half of the cheddar cheese mixture. Spread a third of mozzarella cheese slices on the top. Add 1 and 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and spread 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat the layers, and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. You can cover it with foil, but spray the foil with cooking spray to prevent it from sticking. Just make sure that the foil does not touch the cheese.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes. Bake it for an additional 25 minutes, after removing the foil. Cool it for 15 minutes before serving.
