Move over pizza dough, lasagna noodles are taking over this dish. They make a fun presentation all rolled up instead of being laid out flat like a traditional lasagna. It’s an easy meal to make and you don’t need a lot of ingredients. You can add in your favorite toppings and you have pizza without the crust!

My kids like to dip their pizza, so I add extra marinara sauce on the side so they can still dip this.Serve it with a salad and breadsticks for a complete meal. Skip the takeout and try this recipe – you won’t be disappointed!

 

Ingredients

12 lasagna noodles (not oven ready)

1 cup thinly sliced pepperoni, chopped

2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1 1/2 cups pizza sauce

fresh basil or parsley for garnish if desired

 

Instructions

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook lasagna noodles until al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and cover with cold water to cool immediately. Drain and lay out on a clean, lint free kitchen towel.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a 9×13″ baking dish.
Divide the pepperoni and 1 cup of cheese evenly between the lasagna noodles and roll up as tightly as possible. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the bottom of the baking dish and place all rolls on top.
Spread with remaining pizza sauce and top with remaining cheese. Cover with tin foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and hot. Uncover and broil if desired (keep in mind that the edges of your pasta will become crispy). Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
