Pizza Flavors

In addition to sausage, pepperoni, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and olives, I also use pizza sauce to make this lasagna taste even more like pizza.

Main Ingredients

  • Lasagna Noodles– you need regular, uncooked lasagna noodles. Boil them, cooking them to al dente. They will cook a little more in the oven.
  • Ricotta Cheese– It gets mixed with an egg and Parmesan cheese to make a creamy cheese layer. You can use cottage cheese if you prefer. I actually like cottage cheese better than ricotta in lasagna. Which is weird because I don’t care for plain cottage cheese.
  • Mozzarella Cheese– It’s not lasagna without mozzarella cheese!
  • Seasonings– I use dried Italian seasoning for this lasagna. It is such a convenient ingredient and I use it in all kinds of things. You could also add some chopped fresh basil.
  • Pizza Toppings– I add all your typical pizza toppings- sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and olives.
  • Sauce– You can use jarred marinara sauce or pizza sauce, but I prefer a jar of pizza sauce combined with a drained can of diced tomatoes.

Customize

If you do not like any of the pizza toppings, just leave them out. It’s totally up to you.

How To Make Pizza Lasagna Spicy

Use Hot Italian Sausage and add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days. The assembled and unbaked lasagna can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake.
