1Boil lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a sheet of foil.
2In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the ground beef and sausage and stir it around, cooking it until totally browned. Drain excess fat, then add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, parsley, and basil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
3Make the filling by combining ricotta, eggs, Parmesan, salt, pepper, parsley, and basil. Stir to combine.
4Spoon a little sauce into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan OR smaller disposable foil loaf pans. Spread 2-3 tablespoons ricotta filling on each noodle, then roll them up. Lay them sideways in the pans. Top with remaining sauce, plenty of grated mozzarella, and grated Parmesan.
5If baking immediately, bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.If baking from a frozen state, bake, covered in foil, at 350 for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for 15 minutes, or until lasagna is done.Serve up as many rollups as you need

Tips
Use any lasagna recipe you love!
You can use all beef, all sausage, you can sub regular pork breakfast sausage for Italian sausage, you can add diced pepperoni, you can sub ground turkey for the ground beef…anything!
Part skim ricotta or cottage cheese can be used instead of whole milk ricotta.
Use regular storebought Americanized mozzarella instead of fresh mozzarella.
