Instructions
In 5-quart Dutch oven, cook lasagna noodles as directed on package.
Drain; rinse with hot water.
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.
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. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil.
Place roll-ups, seam side down, on pan; cover loosely with foil. Freeze about 30 minutes or until firm.
Place frozen rolls in airtight freezer container; label. Freeze up to 3 months.
To bake 16 lasagna roll-ups, spray two 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dishes with cooking spray.
Remove roll-ups from freezer bag; place 8 in each baking dish. Cover with foil; thaw in refrigerator at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
Pour 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce over and around roll-ups in each baking dish. Cover tightly with foil; bake 30 to 40 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Sprinkle each baking dish with 1 cup mozzarella cheese; bake uncovered 3 to 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
