I think I saw this being made on TV and it looked so good I had to give it a try. It is DELICIOUS! Seriously, it is so good, and I think the leftovers are even better!

Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions, and saute until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and sausage, and cook until browned. Drain most of the fat, leaving a bit for flavor. Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper. Stir, bring to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove 3 to 4 cups of the cooked sauce to a bowl to cool.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add some salt. Cook the ziti until not quite al-dente, and drain with cold water.
PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 375 DEGREES. SPRAY A LARGE CASSEROLE DISH OR LASAGNA PAN.
In a bowl, mix 2 cups of the mozzarella, ricotta/cottage cheese, parmesan, parsley, eggs and some salt and pepper. Stir together just a couple of times - do not mix completely.
Pour the drained pasta into the cheese mixture and toss to slightly combine (there should still be large lumps). Add the cooled reserved meat sauce and toss to combine.
Add half of the coated pasta to the prepared dish. Spoon half of the remaining sauce over the top, then top with half of the remaining mozzarella. Repeat with another layer of the coated pasta and the remaining sauce and mozzarella.
Bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top, if desired.
