Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna Roll Ups
Description
This recipe involves cooking lasagna noodles until al dente, then layering them with a filling of ricotta cheese mixed with egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Each noodle is spread with filling, topped with pizza sauce, rolled up, and placed in a baking dish layered with more pizza sauce. The assembled rolls receive a topping of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, and pepperoni slices before baking at 400°F.
The cooking process melts the cheeses inside and out, while the pepperoni browns slightly on top, adding a savory, spicy note. The Italian seasoning and garlic powder enhance the classic pizza flavor profile. The dish combines creamy ricotta texture with stretchy melted cheese and a saucy finish.
These roll ups provide a convenient, portionable meal that merges lasagna and pizza textures. They can be served as a main dish with a simple salad or garlic bread. The recipe allows for adjusting sauce amounts to taste and topping quantities based on preference.
Ingredients
- 10 lasagna noodles brand Reggano Oven Ready
- 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese whole milk, brand Emporium Selection
- 1 egg Grade A Organic Cage Free
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning brand Stonemill
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder brand Stonemill
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- 2 pizza sauce 14 ounce jars Delgrosso
- pepperoni for topping (as much as you’d like!, sliced
- crushed red pepper for topping, Stonemill brand
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Add ½ cup of pizza sauce (or more if you like it saucy!) to the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish for the base layer.
- Cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. As soon as they are finished, lay them out on a clean towel in a single layer. Don’t let them stick together! We want them flat so we can spread on the filling and roll them up.
- In a bowl, stir together the ricotta, egg, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, ½ cup parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Add in a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
- Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling on top of each lasagna noodle. Top each with a tablespoon of pizza sauce. Roll up the noodle and place it in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles.
- Top the noodles with the remaining pizza sauce (again, as much as you like!). Top with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Top with the pepperoni slices.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until melty and bubbly! Remove and sprinkle with extra parmesan if you wish. Top with crushed red pepper flakes and serve!
- Note: you can prep this entire dish ahead of time and store it in the fridge until ready to bake! I like to do it 12-24 hours before. It also reheats really well.
