Pepperoni Lasagna
This Pepperoni Lasagna is an easy dinner recipe that you will go back to again and again. Everyone who tries this loves it. Makes a great freezer meal too!

Ingredients

  • 16oz cottage cheese (can substitute for ricotta)
  • 12oz shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 32oz favorite spaghetti sauce
  • 8oz sliced pepperoni
  • 12 lasagna noodles (UNcooked)
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup water

Directions

Step 1
In a mixing bowl stir together cheeses (minus 1 cup of mozzarella), eggs, herbs, and spices. Set aside.
Step 2
In a greased 9x13" baking dish spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce.
Lay 4 noodles in a single layer on top of the sauce.
Spoon more sauce over noodles - just enough to cover them.
Next spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture in an even layer over the noodles topped with scattered pepperonis in an even layer. Don't add too many or it will be greasy.
Spoon more sauce and another layer of noodles.
Add remaining cheese mixture and more pepperoni, topped with remaining noodles, and sauce. Top with a bit more pepperoni and pour the water around the edges of the lasagna. (If you are using a very runny sauce you may skip the water) Cover with foil.
Step 3
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Bake 10 more minutes or until bubbly.

***If baking from frozen add 25-30 minutes to the baking time***

    This looks absolutely delicious! I’ve never used the no boil lasagna noodles and I really need to change that! The pepperoni is an ingredient that everyone here would totally love. Yours is the perfect slice 🙂

    I think I’m a deconstructed eater….I’d start at the top. Eat the pepperoni, then on to the next layer. It wouldn’t be pretty, but it would be yummy!

    Having a recipe where you don’t have to pre-cook the noodles is always a life saver! My husband loves meat too but he’d be all over this!

    That looks amazing! And I’m sure my kids would want seconds if there’s pepperoni involved. They just asked for lasagna yesterday. Maybe I’ll make all their dreams come true. 🙂
