Hot Cayenne pepper powdered- 1 tea spoon for heat        

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation: cooking time 2 hours

In a pan put 2 tea spoons of Olive oil, add ground beef and skinned pork sausages and let it sauté till meat is no more raw. Add chopped garlic and stir, after 5 minutes add the tomato paste, salt, pepper and the Italian herbs as listed above. Mix well and simmer it for 1:45 hrs to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

In a separate deep pot of boiling water, add 1 tea spoon of salt and Olive oil, then throw in the Lasagne noodles. Once the noodles are cooked - remove from the pot of boiling water and place it under cold running water

Once the noodles and meat is ready, take a deep glass/baking pan (approx 9 by 11 by 3 inch). Smear Olive oil on the pan evenly and lay out a thin coat of meat/sauce at the bottom of the pan. Cover it up with Lasagne, on top of this layer coat heavily the meat /sauce, cover it with 3 cheese. Repeat this alternate Lasagne-Meat-cheese layers for another 2 times till we have 3 layers of Lasagne and meat (the top layer is that of cheese coated meat). Cover this baking pan with a foil of Aluminum and place it in a preheated oven at 350F for 30 minutes. Then remove the Aluminum foil and let it bake for 10-15 minutes.

Once done - remove the baking pan from oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Using a knife cut into the Lasagne and make 2 by 2 inch squares, plate and serve!
