Steps:

• Pasta Sauce:.
• Brown beef and pork in a frying pan until thoroughly cooked, and drain excess fat from pan.
• Finely dice both the garlic and onions and add them to your meat medley.
• Cook until both the onions and garlic are translucent.
• Add pasta sauce and turn to low to simmer.
• Chop up your fresh herbs and add it to your sauce. Remember to remove them from their stems! Keep the sauce low and simmer while you cook the rest of your lasagna ingredients to help thicken your sauce.
• Add salt, pepper and any other spices you fancy.
• Noodles:.
• Lasagna noodles require very little time to cook. Some recipes suggest that you don't use boiling water, but instead use hot water from the tap and soak the noodles in it.
• This is a good suggestion for parboiled noodles, but if you have complete raw noodles, you will want to boil some water in a big pot and cook the noodles for 10 minutes.
• When done, strain them and run them under cool water. Note: Noodles should not be over cooked, it will turn them weak and flimsy, and that's no good! Try to get them El Dante.
• Ricotta Mixture:.
• Wash and separate the broccoli head as well as peel the carrots. Then use a cheese grader to shred both the carrot and broccoli into a fine mixture.
• Add all your ricotta cheese to this and mix thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Preparation:.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Layout your cook noodles and cut them in half on a cutting board. With a spoon, scoop out a small bit of your ricotta mixture onto your ½ noodle.
• Use the back of the spoon to distribute the mixture. Next, add a spoon full of the meat sauce.
• When both mixtures are equally distributed along the noodle, take one end and begin to roll it between your thumbs and index fingers. Do this for all your noodles until you've exhausted your supplies.
• Place all your lasagna roll-ups onto a baking sheet. Use any excess sauce to blanket the rolls.
• Afterwards, liberally spread your mozzarella cheese over top.
• Place in the oven and cook for 15 - 20 minutes.
• Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat onion in a pan over medium heat with a little olive oil.

• Cook until no longer pink and remove from heat.

• egg, and about 1/4 cup mozzarella (the remaining 1/2 cup is for the topping).

• Lightly grease four ramekins with olive oil and spread a little sauce on the bottom of each (to keep the noodles soft during baking).
• Using two (pre-boiled) lasagna noodles, make an X in each ramekin.
• Put a spoonful of sauce in each X (about 1 tbsp).
• Put a spoonful of meat on top of sauce.
• Cover meat with one flap of the noodle X.

• Fold over another side of the X.
• Top with a spoonful of the ricotta mixture.
• Fold over the third flap and top with about 1/2 of the remaining mozzarella cheese (about 1/4 cup).
• Fold over the last flap so it sits just over the cheese.
• Top with sauce, making sure to spread it evenly around the sides and top (without it dripping over the sides, but instead dripping down the insides of the ramekins).
• Top with remaining cheese.
• (I added a little more at the end of baking, too).
