Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain off excess fat if needed.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped basil. Mix well and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Spread one-third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the remaining meat sauce, then sprinkle one-third of the shredded Provel cheese.
Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta, meat sauce, Provel cheese) two more times, finishing with a generous layer of Provel cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring it doesn't touch the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired, and serve hot.
