Directions:1. In 5-quart Dutch oven, cook lasagna noodles as directed on package. Drain; rinse with hot water. Drain well.
2. Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, cook beef, sausage and onion over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until meat
is no longer pink; drain. Stir in 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 10 minutes,
stirring
occasionally. Remove from heat.
3. In small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, spinach, basil and egg. Spread about 3 tablespoons ricotta mixture over each
cooked lasagna noodle to within 1 inch of one short end. Spoon about 1/4 cup meat mixture over ricotta mixture
on each. Roll up firmly toward unfilled end.
4. To bake lasagna roll-ups, spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish ( may need 2 dishes to fit all the roll ups )
with cooking spray.
5. Heat oven to 350°F. Pour pasta sauce over and around roll-ups in baking dish. Cover tightly with foil; bake 30 to
40 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with 2 cups mozzarella cheese; bake uncovered 3 to 5 minutes longer
or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Notes: If you are planning to freeze the roll ups to cook later, Line 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with foil. Place
