Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Boil salted water in a large pot and cook the lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef and chicken sausage over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened.
  3. Mix in pasta sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
