3/4 cups Finely Chopped Peeled Carrots
8 ounces, weight Lean Ground Beef
6 ounces, weight Spicy Italian Sausage
6 ounces, weight Diced Pepperoni
28 ounces, fluid Canned Crushed Tomatoes With Added Puree

1
For the sauce: Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat.
2
Add onion, carrots and garlic; saute until softened, about 12 minutes.
3
The carrots sound weird, but they really do add something.
4
Add beef and sausage to pan; saute until cooked through, breaking up meat with back of spoon, about 5 minutes.
5
Add pepperoni halfway through cooking of beef, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
6
Add remaining ingredients: crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock, basil, brown sugar, oregano, bay leaves, and red pepper flakes.
7
Cover and simmer until flavors blend and sauce measures about 5 cups, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
8
Discard bay leaves.
9
Cool properly if preparing ahead of time.
10
For the lasagna: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender, about 7 minutes.
11
Drain; cover with cold water.
12
(You can use no-cook noodles, I just prefer not to.
13
There is plenty of liquid to make them work if you use no-cook noodles, just dont reduce the sauce quite as much.)
14
Combine ricotta and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese in medium bowl.
15
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
16
Mix in eggs.

Drain pasta and pat dry.

Spread half of ricotta mixture evenly over noodles.
21
Sprinkle 2 cups mozzarella cheese evenly over ricotta mixture.

Spoon 1 1/2 cups sauce over cheese, spreading with spatula to cover (sauce will be thick).
23
Repeat layering with 5 noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, 2 cups mozzarella and 1 1/2 cups sauce.
24
Arrange remaining 5 noodles over sauce.
25
Spread remaining sauce over noodles.
26
Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese evenly over lasagna.
27
(This can be prepared up to 1 day ahead.
