Pizza Lasagna

Ingredients

9 ounces oven-ready lasagna noodles (about 15 sheets)

1 (48-ounce) jar marinara sauce (about 6 cups), or homemade

1 1/2 pounds low-moisture mozzarella, shredded (about 5 cups)

5 ounces sliced pepperoni, preferably small diameter (see recipe note)

Method

Preheat the oven:

Preheat the oven to 375°F and position the rack in the center.

Assemble the lasagna:

In a 9x13-inch baking dish, add 3/4 cup of marinara sauce and spread it with a spoon as the base.

For the first layer, add 3 sheets of the lasagna noodles equidistant from each other. Add another 3/4 cup of the marinara sauce and spread. Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella over the sauce, then top with 1 ounce of the pepperoni (about 50 small slices). 

Repeat the steps for the next four layers.

Bake the lasagna:

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 5 minutes.

Cool the lasagna:

Let it cool for 15 minutes before serving so it will hold its shape when cut.
