Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, mix the pork and beef until they turn a delightful brown and crumble, taking about 5 to 7 minutes. Toss in the onion, letting it turn translucent, around another 5 minutes.
Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, garlic, basil, salt, oregano, and sugar into the mix. Let it simmer over medium-low heat, stirring now and then, for 30 minutes.
As the sauce quietly bubbles, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles till they're soft yet firm, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, then set aside.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a bowl, mix together cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, remaining parsley, salt, and pepper until they're well combined.
To set up your lasagna: Start with a ladle of sauce at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread two layers of noodles to cover. Add half of the cheese mixture, half of the remaining sauce, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering with the remaining noodles, cheese, and sauce. Finish with mozzarella on top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Slide the dish into the preheated oven, letting it bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese turns golden brown, another 5 to 10 minutes.
Take it out of the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and savoring.
