Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna Roll Ups
Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna Roll Ups combine cooked lasagna noodles spread with a creamy mixture of softened cream cheese and yogurt, layered with pepperoni slices, rolled up and baked with pizza sauce and shredded cheese. This dish creates individual portions that offer a blend of savory, creamy, and cheesy flavors reminiscent of pizza in a convenient, handheld form.
Ingredients
- 8 lasagna noodles cooked til tender (don't cook them too long or they will fall apart)
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup yogurt may sub sour cream, plain, Greek
- 1 ½-2 cups cheese your favorite for pizza, I used an Italian blend, shredded
- 1 ounce jar pizza sauce (I used a tomato garlic basil)
- 1 package pepperoni slices
- parsley optional, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a casserole dish (about 9x13 inches). Spread an even layer of pizza sauce (about 1 cup) in the bottom of the dish.
- Lay your lasagna noodles out on a clean, flat surface (I like to use a large baking/cookie sheet for this part). In a medium bowl cream together cream cheese and greek yogurt until smooth. Use a rubber spatula (or the back of a spoon) to spread mixture evenly onto the top side of each lasagna noodle.
- Lay about 6-8 pepperoni slices along the length of the noodle on top of the cream cheese mixture. Gently roll up the noodles (as tightly as possible while being gently) and place in a single layer in your prepared baking dish. Pour remaining pizza sauce over the rolls. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and top with 1-2 pepperoni slices.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is completely melted. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
- These roll ups can be prepared ahead and frozen; add 20 minutes to the baking time if baking from frozen.
- Cook lasagna noodles until just tender to prevent them from falling apart while rolling.
- Substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream if desired for a tangy filling texture.
- Layer pepperoni slices evenly on the cream cheese mixture for consistent flavor in each roll.
- Use an Italian blend or your preferred shredded cheese suitable for pizza topping.
