Pizza Lasagna
Description
Pizza Lasagna begins with a sauce of simmered tomato, onion, garlic, oregano, and basil, imparting classic Italian pizza herbs. The meat filling features browned ground turkey seasoned and cooked with mushrooms, offering a tender yet robust texture. Ricotta cheese mixed with eggs, salt, pepper, and parsley forms the creamy layering component between sheets of cooked lasagna noodles.
Assembly involves layering noodles with ricotta mixture, savory meat sauce, slices of pepperoni, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Baking at 350 degrees melds the flavors and melts the cheeses into a cohesive dish reminiscent of pizza in lasagna form. It can be served as a main course for dinner or gatherings.
Because a high-sided 9x13 inch baking dish is recommended, thinner standard pans might require making a second smaller lasagna with leftover ingredients. This approach ensures complete layering and allows saving an extra portion for another meal or sharing.
