Pepperoni Pasta Rolls

Aren't lasagna rolls fun? These turned out so to be so easy and delicious. The guys around here love pepperoni and I love lasagne so I combined the two into one yummy dish! Since pepperoni is already cooked there's no pre-cooking required except the noodles and the onion and I'm not really sure that even qualifies as cooking. Basically you just throw everything together and bake for about 30 minutes and you've got a fun, easy and tasty dinner!

Pepperoni Pasta Rolls



10 - 12 lasagna noodles
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 24-ounce jar pasta sauce
1 medium onion ~ diced
1 clove garlic ~ minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 4-ounce package pepperoni slices
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Boil lasagne noodles until al dente.

Saute the onion and garlic in a little olive oil until tender.

Add pasta sauce and simmer for 15 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper.

Spread a thin amount of the cheese mixture on each noodle.

Then top with 8 pepperoni slices. 

Starting at one end, gently roll noodle and place in prepared pan. Repeat until all ingredients are used. (I was able to get 10 rolls.)

Pour sauce over rolls. Top with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes until hot. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Here we go!

Saute the onion and garlic for a bit.

Then add the sauce.

Mix together the cheeses, egg and the seasonings.

Spread a thin-ish layer of the cheese

mixture on a cooked noodle.

Lay on some pepperoni slices and roll up!

Place in a prepared pan.

Then top with the sauce, a little parm and bake it up!

Yummy!
