Enjoy the best of both worlds with this Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna recipe that combines the flavors of pizza and lasagna in one delicious dish.

Ingredients

For the Ricotta Mixture:

  • 32 oz. whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Sauce:

  • 1 15-oz. jar pizza sauce
  • 1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano

Other Ingredients:

  • 3 Italian sausage links
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 9 oven-ready lasagna sheets
  • 5 oz. mini pepperoni slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice sausage links and cook in a skillet until golden brown. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, prepare the ricotta mixture by combining ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, herbs, garlic, egg, and seasonings.
  3. Prepare the sauce by combining pizza sauce and diced tomatoes.
  4. Assemble the lasagna layers in a casserole dish with sauce, ricotta mixture, sausage, cheese, and pepperoni.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes until bubbly. Let it rest before serving.

Notes

  • I used mini pepperoni slices, but feel free to use larger slices – just cut them in half before using.
  • For best flavor, use fresh herbs in the ricotta mixture, but dried herbs can be substituted if necessary.
