Preheat oven to 375 F.

In a Dutch oven or large skillet add the sausage, hamburger, and onion and cook over medium-high heat until browned, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Next, add the tomato paste and red pepper flakes and stir to incorporate, 2 minutes.  Then add the tomatoes, basil, oregano, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.  Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer.  Let the sauce reduce down for about 15-20 minutes until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

While sauce is cooking, add ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, and salt and pepper to a bowl.  Stir to incorporate.

For assembly, spoon 1 cup of sauce along bottom of large 12-inch skillet.  Add a layer of broken noodles (don’t worry how they fit together), then a layer of sauce, then dollops of the cheese mixture.  Repeat with layers of noodles (press down noodle layer to make it compact), sauce and cheese (you should have 3 layers).  Final layer should be sauce and dollops of cheese.

Place in the oven and bake 45 minutes until melted and bubbling.

Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
