Ingredients
Units
Scale
Lasagna Noodles
- 9 lasagna noodles
Pepperoni
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
Ricotta Cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Marinara Sauce
- 2 cups marinara sauce
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Begin by boiling salted water in a large pot. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Fill the Noodles: Take a lasagna noodle and spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture along the length of the noodle. Roll the noodle tightly from one end to the other, creating a delicious roll.
- Assemble in Baking Dish: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the lasagna rolls seam-side down in the dish and cover them with the remaining marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Notes
- Don’t Overcook the Noodles: Make sure to cook the noodles al dente as they will continue to cook in the oven.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Let your cheeses come to room temperature for easier mixing and spreading.
- Keep It Moist: If the dish seems dry, add a bit of additional marinara sauce before baking.
- Let It Rest: Allow the lasagna rolls to sit for a few minutes after baking; this helps them hold their shape better when serving.
- Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to sprinkle extra cheese or fresh herbs on top before serving for added flavor and presentation.
