Preparation
- Cook lasagna noodles according to box directions. Drain and set aside. Be careful when handling so you don’t rip or break any of the noodles.

- In a large saucepan, cook beef, sausage, garlic, and onion until browned. Stir in Pomi crushed tomatoes, Pomi tomato paste, sugar, water, parsley salt, pepper and basil. Reduce to a simmer and let cook for 25 minutes (stir occasionally)
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Fill bottom of pan with meat sauce until about an inch to 1 1/2 inches are filled. Top the meat sauce with the lasagna roll ups and add a little bit more meat sauce. Sprinkle the top with more mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12 minutes (covered) and another 12 minutes (uncovered) or until cheese is bubbly.
- Allow to cool and serve.
