Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
- 2 cups Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Pepperoni slices
- 3.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of oil.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup of Parmesan, the egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.
Spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Lay one lasagna noodle flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly down the length of the noodle. Layer 5 to 6 pepperoni slices over the ricotta mixture. Starting at one end, roll the noodle tightly into a spiral.
Place the roll seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles, ricotta mixture, and pepperoni slices, arranging the rolls snugly in the dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the lasagna rolls, ensuring all the noodles are covered to prevent them from drying out.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbling and golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
