Written by Lisa on May 3, 2008 – 10:46 am -

9 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 can pizza sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or Italian blend cheese
2 packages of pepperoni slices (3 1/2 oz each)

Cook lasagna noodles as directed on package and drain.

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Spray 12×8 (I only have a 8X8 so I used that instead) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In saucepan, mix pizza sauce and tomatoes. Cook until throughly heated. In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese and Italian seasoning.

Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce mixture in bottom of baking dish. Arrange 3 cooked noodles over the sauce. Spoon and spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, 1 cup sauce mixture, 1/3 each of the pepperoni slices. Repeat layers once.

Top with remaining noodles, sauce mixture, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni slices.

Bake uncovered 30 - 35 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

8 servings
