Recipe: Pizza Lasagna Rolls

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30-35 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Serving size: 2 lasagna rolls

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups light pasta sauce
  • 12 whole wheat lasagna noodles, dry
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 (8-ounce) container baby bella mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¾ cup low-fat ricotta cheese
  • 48 turkey pepperonis
  • ½ cup reduced-fat mozzarella shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and pour ½ cup of the pasta sauce at the bottom, making a thin layer so the lasagna does not stick to the bottom, then set aside.

  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles for 6-8 minutes, or until they are bendable. Do this in two batches as to not crowd the pot.

  3. Set the cooked noodles aside on a baking sheet or large cutting board.

  4. While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, garlic powder, oregano, basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 8-10 minutes.

  5. Being careful not to break the noodles, spread 1 tablespoon of ricotta cheese on each noodle. Evenly spread the vegetable mixture onto each noodle (about 1½ to 2 tablespoons each). Next, place 3 pepperonis on top of the vegetable mixture.

  6. Gently roll each noodle up and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

  7. Pour the remaining 1 cup of sauce over all of the lasagna rolls and evenly cover with the mozzarella cheese. Place 1 pepperoni on top of each roll.

  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
