Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent.

Stir in the spaghetti sauce, beef bouillon, sugar, red wine, onion powder, garlic powder, basil, oregano, rosemary, chilli flakes, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for about 20 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth.

In a baking dish, spread a layer of meat sauce at the bottom, followed by a layer of lasagna noodles, then a layer of the ricotta mixture, and a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce and topped with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
