Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 9 sheets lasagna noodles
- 3 cups pizza sauce
- 4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 cup cooked Italian sausage, crumbled
- 0.5 cup sliced black olives
- 0.5 cup diced green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1 cup of pizza sauce, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and a portion of your desired pizza toppings including pepperoni, sausage, olives, green bell peppers, and mushrooms.
Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta, sauce, mozzarella, toppings) two more times, ending with a top layer of mozzarella cheese and remaining pizza toppings.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the Pizzagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
