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 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. 22. Place lasagna on top of plate. Bake until lasagna reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees to 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 1 1/2 hours to 1 hour 40 minutes. 23.
