Place ground pork and beef in a large skillet. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt. Brown and crumble over medium-high heat. Drain fat.
To the skillet add crushed tomatoes, ½ teaspoon salt, Italian herbs, basil, and ground black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about five minutes.
Add the water and lasagna noodle pieces and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil, reduce heat again, cover and simmer about 20 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
