Directions:

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; season with salt. Add lasagna sheets and cook until pliable and al dente, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water.
  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  3. Pour 1 cup sauce into a shallow baking dish; set aside.
  4. Cut two sheets in half lengthwise to make four 2-by-8-inch sheets; set aside.
  5. Spread 1 cup sauce on the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
  6. Dip half of a reserved cut sheet crosswise in the reserved sauce, and drape over a corner of the baking pan, leaving the sauce-covered end in the pan with the other half hanging over the edge.
  7. Repeat with remaining 3 cut sheets and corners.
  8. Line edges of pan in the same manner using full-size sheets dipped lengthwise.
  9. Finish lining the bottom of the pan with 2 full sheets.
  10. In a medium bowl, toss to combine meatballs with 1/3 cup pecorino Romano, and 1/4 cup basil; spread evenly in bottom of dish.
  11. Pour over 1 cup sauce, and cover with 2 lasagna sheets.
  12. In the same bowl, toss sausages with 1/3 cup pecorino Romano; spread evenly in baking dish.
  13. Pour over 1 cup sauce, and cover with 2 lasagna sheets.
  14. In a medium bowl, combine mozzarella with 1/3 cup pecorino Romano; spread evenly in baking dish.

  16. In a medium bowl, combine remaining 1/3 cup pecorino Romano with ricotta and egg; spread evenly in baking dish.
  17. Top with 1 cup sauce.
  18. Center pasta sheets on ricotta within 1/2-inch of the edge of dish. Brush draped lasagna with sauce, and fold over to seal and enclose.
  19. Cover lasagna with a clean, damp kitchen towel.
  20. Double-wrap baking dish in aluminum foil.
  21. Place an ovenproof plate, upside down, in a large roasting pan; fill pan with 2 inches of hot water.

  23. Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes before serving.
  24. Garnish with remaining basil, and serve with remaining sauce, if desired.
