Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna Rollups

Ingredients:

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 40-50 pepperoni slices
  • 2 cups pasta or pizza sauce (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook Lasagna Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Be careful not to overcook them as they will become too soft and may fall apart. Drain the noodles and lay them flat on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  3. Prepare Ricotta Mixture (Optional): If you prefer a more seasoned filling, mix the ricotta cheese with dried oregano, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
  4. Assemble Rollups:
    • Lay each cooked lasagna noodle flat on a clean surface.
    • Spread approximately 2-3 tablespoons of ricotta cheese evenly over each noodle.
    • Place 3-4 pepperoni slices on top of the ricotta cheese layer.
  5. Roll Up Noodles: Carefully roll up each lasagna noodle starting from one end and rolling towards the other end to form a tight roll.
  6. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with olive oil. Spread a light layer (about 1/2 cup) of pasta or pizza sauce along the bottom of the dish.
  7. Arrange Rollups: Place each lasagna rollup seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Make sure they are close together but not overlapping.
  8. Top with Sauce and Cheese:
    • Pour the remaining pasta or pizza sauce evenly over the top of the lasagna rollups.
    • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  9. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
    • Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
    • Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna Rollups!

Tips:

  • You can customize the filling by adding other ingredients such as cooked sausage, sautéed spinach, or mushrooms.
  • Make sure to let the rollups cool slightly before serving to allow the cheese to set a bit.

Enjoy your meal!
