Ingredients
Lasagna noodles (enough to make your desired number of roll-ups)
Ricotta cheese (about 1 cup)
Pepperoni slices (about 1 cup, or to taste)
Pasta sauce or pizza sauce (for layering and topping)
Mozzarella cheese (shredded, about 1-2 cups)
Cooking spray (for greasing the baking dish)
Directions
Cook the Lasagna Noodles:
Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, but be careful not to overcook them. They should be al dente, as they will continue to cook in the oven.
Prepare the Baking Dish:
Grease a glass baking dish with cooking spray and spread a light layer of pasta/pizza sauce along the bottom.
Assemble the Roll-Ups:
Lay the cooked lasagna noodles out flat on a baking pan.
Spread a layer of Ricotta cheese over each noodle.
Place a few slices of pepperoni on top of the Ricotta cheese.
Carefully roll up each noodle from one end to the other.
Place in Baking Dish:
Arrange the rolled-up noodles seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Add Sauce and Cheese:
Pour additional pasta/pizza sauce over the top of the roll-ups.
Sprinkle shredded Mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the roll-ups for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
