Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook the lasagna noodles in plenty of boiling salted water until pliable and barely tender, about 10 minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking. Drain the noodles thoroughly and coat with olive oil to keep them moist and easy to work with.
- Coat a large skillet with olive oil, add beef and sausage and brown until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. In a food processor, combine the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, basil, parsley, an oregano. Process until pureed, add to the pan with the ground meat and stir to combine. Stir in the flour. Add the wine and cook until it has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes and add the heavy cream and the cinnamon.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta and the parmesan. Stir in the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble the lasagna: Coat the bottom of a deep 13 by 9-inch pan with olive oil. Arrange 4 noodles lengthwise in a slightly overlapping layer on the sauce. Then, line each end of the pan with a lasagna noodle. This forms a collar that holds in the corners. Dollop 1/2 of the ricotta mixture over the pasta, spread to the edges with a spatula. Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture over the ricotta. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella on top of the ricotta. Top with a ladle full of sauce, spread evenly. Repeat with the next layer of noodles, ricotta, sauce, and cheeses. Top last layer with noodles, sauce, shredded mozzarella and Parmesan. Tap the pan to force out air bubbles. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven. Let lasagna rest for 30 minutes so the noodles will settle and cut easily. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.

GRANDMA'S BEST EVER SOUR CREAM LASAGNA
This is my grandma's famous recipe, except that I use sour cream instead of the traditional cheeses (a trick I picked up from my mother-in-law). She always made it for birthday dinners and special occasions. This makes a large amount. I halve it when making it for my boyfriend and myself. It's very cheesy - sometimes I add a little extra tomato sauce. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Fresh onion, garlic, and herbs are essential. - Sauté the onion and garlic in butter until softened and fragrant. This will enhance their flavor and prevent them from overpowering the dish. - Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry or semi-dry wine will work well. - Don't skimp on the cheese. A combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta will give the lasagna a rich and creamy flavor. - Layer the lasagna carefully to ensure that it cooks evenly. Start with a layer of sauce, then noodles, then cheese, and repeat. - Bake the lasagna until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the noodles are tender. This will usually take around 45 minutes. - Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow it to set and make it easier to cut.Conclusion:
Creamy onion lasagna is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. With its rich and creamy sauce, tender noodles, and gooey cheese, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
